CPAP treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night) can improve asthma control in people who have both severe uncontrolled asthma and sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). You should not have been hospitalized for asthma in the last month.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have severe asthma that is not well controlled.

- You are not very sleepy during the day (score of 10 or less on the Epworth sleepiness scale).

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 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 if CPAP, a machine that helps keep your airways open while you sleep, can improve breathing and reduce flare-ups in people with large airway collapse. You may be eligible if you have this condition and have needed antibiotics or steroids in the past year.
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 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.
