Check portable sleep testing for sleep apnea in people with high blood pressure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether using portable electronic recorders can help find sleep apnea (OSA) in people who have hypertension and are at higher risk. It may help doctors screen sooner and better understand sleep apnea in people with blood-pressure problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have high blood pressure (hypertension), which is either not well controlled or controlled only with multiple blood-pressure medicines
- You are considered high risk for sleep apnea based on STOP-BANG score of 3 or higher, or certain kidney disease, or resistant high blood pressure
- If you have kidney disease, your kidney function (eGFR) is between 15 and 59
- If your high blood pressure is “resistant,” it remains above your goal even with 3 or more blood-pressure medicines at the best doses (often including a diuretic)
- You do not already have a known diagnosis of sleep apnea
- You are able to do the study questionnaires and tests (no major physical/cognitive limits or language barriers), and you expect to live at least 6 months

This study keeps a record of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who also have high blood pressure, to better understand how CPAP is used and what outcomes happen. It may help your care team by contributing your information to a large multi-center study in China.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study tests whether a simple heart-rate measurement can help detect obstructive sleep apnea (a breathing condition during sleep) in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find an easier way to screen for sleep apnea, which often goes undiagnosed but can worsen heart health.
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects blood pressure and thinking skills. It compares people who use CPAP, people who don't, and people without sleep apnea.
This study looks at how to manage high blood pressure specifically during sleep, aiming to lower the risk it can cause over time. It may help you if your blood pressure readings stay high at night even if you’re otherwise able to function normally.
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
