Helping people with sleep apnea try PAP therapy for the first time
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study tests ways to help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use their PAP (positive airway pressure) machine more regularly to treat sleep apnea. If you qualify, you'll get extra support to stick with your treatment.
This study tests different PAP machines (devices that help you breathe at night) to see how well they work and how comfortable they are. If you already use a PAP machine for sleep apnea, you might be able to try new machines for a week each and share your experience.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study compares two types of breathing therapy for people with sleep apnea to see which is more comfortable. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried treatment yet, this could help you find a more comfortable option.
