Sleep apnea treatment in heart patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have coronary artery disease or are at very high risk for it.
- You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
- You either use a CPAP machine or you can't or don't want to use it and are willing to try a mouth device (MAD).
- Your heart condition is stable (not in advanced heart failure).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no severe psychiatric disorders.

This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
This trial tests if a new 3D scanning method can better fit a dental device (MAD) for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help those using a MAD get more effective treatment.
This trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
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.
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.
