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.

This study tests a new device that uses cold energy to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It might help you if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and can't use standard treatments like CPAP.
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 tests a new way of retraining the muscles of your upper airway to help you breathe better during sleep, as an alternative to CPAP. It is for people with moderate sleep apnea who have not yet started CPAP.
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 trial studies an MRI-guided procedure that “freezes” targeted nerves or joints to reduce pain in the head, neck, or spine. It may help if your pain comes from a joint problem or a compressed/damaged nerve and you can safely have MRI scans before and after the treatment.
