MRI predictors of cryolysis for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to see how well a cold treatment (cryolysis) works for obstructive sleep apnea. It is only open to people already in the ARCTIC-3 trial at the University of Pennsylvania.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be enrolled in the ARCTIC-3 sleep apnea trial at the University of Pennsylvania.
- You must be able to have an MRI safely (no claustrophobia or metal in your body).
- You cannot be pregnant or become pregnant during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how breathing passages narrow during sleep to better understand obstruction patterns. It may help people who are being considered for alternatives to CPAP (a common breathing device) for sleep-disordered breathing.
This trial tests a new device called Cryosa to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It may be an option if you have tried or cannot use a CPAP machine or mouthpiece, and you meet certain breathing and weight criteria.
This trial uses a specialized brain scan (MRI) to study people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who are not using CPAP. It also compares them with people who do not have sleep apnea to understand how brain function differs.
This study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
This trial is studying tiny molecules in the blood (called microRNAs) to see if they can help diagnose or monitor obstructive sleep apnea. It compares people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who are starting PAP therapy with people who do not have sleep apnea.
This Phase 3 study tests an “upper airway reeducation” program using brain stimulation (called TMS) to help people with moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It may help improve sleep symptoms and breathing, especially if you can’t yet rely on CPAP as first treatment.
