This Phase 4 study looks at what’s going on in the body during central sleep apnea and uses that information to guide treatment. If you have central sleep apnea, this could help confirm or improve how treatment is chosen for you.
This study tests whether certain medications can help older adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It aims to improve sleep quality and safety for elderly patients.
This study looks at why central sleep apnea happens in people with heart failure and tests if the sleep aid trazodone can help. It aims to find better treatments for breathing pauses during sleep that are linked to heart problems.
This study looks at treatment for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in adults with a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the trial team may help manage sleep-related breathing problems and track how well the treatment works.
This study tests a sleep improvement program to help people with chronic widespread pain reduce or stop their opioid pain medication. If you want to cut back on opioids and have trouble sleeping, this treatment might be a good fit.
This Phase 2 study looks at how to help people who have misused opioid pain medicines and sedative “sleep/anxiety” drugs (or used alcohol heavily) over the past 10 years.
