Sleep Apnea and Ventilotherapy: A Study Before and After Treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how sleep apnea affects the body and brain before and after starting treatment with a breathing device (ventilotherapy). It aims to understand the benefits of early treatment for people with obstructive sleep apnea.

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 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 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.
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.
This study tests whether combining CPAP with special mouth and tongue exercises can improve sleep apnea better than CPAP alone. It is for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have not tried CPAP before.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
