CPAP for high cholesterol and sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if CPAP therapy can improve cholesterol and uric acid levels in people with both high cholesterol and moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help if you have sleep apnea and are looking for additional ways to manage your lipid levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with high cholesterol or are taking medication for it, or had a recent blood test showing high cholesterol or triglycerides
- You have moderate to severe sleep apnea (AHI > 15)
- You have not used CPAP before for your sleep apnea
- You do not have central sleep apnea (where breathing pauses are mostly from the brain not signaling the body to breathe)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce acute COPD flare-ups in people who also have sleep apnea. It may help by improving breathing during sleep and lowering the chance of worsening lung symptoms.
This study tests whether CPAP therapy (a machine that helps keep your airway open while you sleep) can lower high red blood cell counts in people who have both sleep apnea and polycythemia. It may help reduce the need for other treatments.
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 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 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.
This trial tests whether long-term use of CPAP therapy, supported by telemedicine, helps people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. It could improve your sleep and health.
