Upper airway retraining for moderate sleep apnea
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of retraining the muscles of your upper airway to help you breathe better during sleep, as an alternative to CPAP. It is for people with moderate sleep apnea who have not yet started CPAP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, meaning your sleep test showed 15 to less than 30 breathing pauses per hour.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.
- You are not already using CPAP as your first treatment.
- You do not have certain health conditions (like a pacemaker, epilepsy, or heart disease) that could make the study unsafe.

This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to breathe in) can improve sleep apnea symptoms in people who already use CPAP. The goal is to see if adding this training helps you feel better or need less CPAP pressure.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
This trial tests a device that stimulates the upper airway during sleep to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may help people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing and throat muscles can improve moderate sleep apnea. It aims to see if these exercises help reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
