Melatonin for nighttime blood pressure in sleep apnea
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether melatonin can help lower nighttime blood pressure and improve sleep quality in people with obstructive sleep apnea who have 'non-dipping' blood pressure (blood pressure that stays high at night).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea through a sleep study.
- Your blood pressure does not drop enough at night (called 'non-dipping'), confirmed by a 24-hour blood pressure monitor.
- You are not taking any sleep or psychiatric medications.
- You do not use a CPAP or BiPAP machine for sleep apnea.
- You do not have a neurological or psychiatric disorder.

This trial studies whether CPAP treatment can improve blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to find out who benefits most from CPAP in terms of blood pressure control.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
This study tests whether using CPAP (a breathing machine) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve blood pressure and heartbeat timing. You’ll have blood pressure checked at the start and again after 6 months, along with a sleep evaluation to confirm eligibility.
This trial tests whether a supervised physical activity program can help lower blood pressure in people with obstructive sleep apnea and resistant high blood pressure. It may help you control blood pressure when it has not improved despite multiple medications.
This trial tests whether taking your blood pressure medicine in the morning or at bedtime controls blood pressure better over a full day and night. It may help certain people find a dosing time that improves nighttime blood pressure.
This study tests whether melatonin can help improve heart health in midlife women with high blood pressure. It involves taking a melatonin pill or placebo for several weeks and checking blood pressure and other health markers.
