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

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 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.
This trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It's for people with moderate sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
