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 a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
This trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
This trial tests whether long-term use of CPAP therapy, supported by telemedicine, helps people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. It could improve your sleep and health.
This study tests ways to improve how consistently Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use CPAP (a breathing device) for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. If you use CPAP irregularly now, the study may help you stay on track with treatment.
This study tests different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have been on treatment for at least 3 months. You would try each system for up to 7 nights to see how they work for you.
