Nerve stimulation for sleep apnea using neck nerve signals
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult and can give informed consent
- Your body weight is in the BMI range of 25 to 40
- Your sleep apnea test shows AHI between 20 and 80 breathing events per hour
- Most of your breathing problems are obstructive (not central) during sleep
- You do not have certain other sleep disorders like central sleep apnea or narcolepsy
Quick eligibility check

This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in people who are overweight and cannot tolerate CPAP. It focuses on how the treatment affects metabolism and weight.
This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It may be an option if you have tried CPAP but found it too difficult to use regularly.
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
