Comparing sleep apnea treatments (CPAP vs alternatives)
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea (based on a sleep study)
- Able to understand and fill out a questionnaire
- Not taking any medications that affect sleep (like sleeping pills or stimulants)
- No major health issues like heart failure, cancer, or a condition called obesity hypoventilation syndrome

This study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for your condition.
This study compares two types of masks used with sleep apnea machines to see which one is more comfortable and effective. You'll be newly diagnosed with sleep apnea and willing to try a mask-based treatment to find out which works best for you.
This study compares two ways to improve how CPAP therapy is delivered, to see which helps people use their machine more consistently. It is for adults who have been recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and have not yet started treatment.
This study tests different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have been on treatment for at least 3 months. You would try each system for up to 7 nights to see how they work for you.
This study tests a new, smarter way for your CPAP machine to automatically adjust air pressure while you sleep. If you have a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 and have been using it for a few months, you may be eligible.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
