Sleep apnea nerve stimulation therapy registry
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have moderate to severe sleep apnea, with an AHI score between 15 and 65 events per hour.
- You have tried or cannot use a CPAP machine or a jaw-advancement device.
- Your airway does not collapse completely at the soft palate during a special sleep scope (DISE).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 32 or below.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
This trial checks how well hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy keeps your airway open while you are sedated. It may help people already using this therapy understand if it is working.
This study collects information in a registry to help doctors understand outcomes for young people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP and may use an implantable breathing stimulation device. You might qualify if you’ve tried and couldn’t tolerate CPAP and you’re able/willing to get and use the device and return for follow-ups and sleep tests.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in people who are overweight and cannot tolerate CPAP. It focuses on how the treatment affects metabolism and weight.
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
This study gathers information from people who have or will receive an Inspire implant for sleep apnea. By joining, you help doctors learn how well the therapy works over time.
