Reducing mask leaks during CPAP for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a method to help CPAP users with nasal masks who have high air leaks. It aims to find better ways to reduce unintentional leaking so treatment works more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea
- You use CPAP with a nasal mask
- In the last week, your average air leak was above 24 liters per minute
- Or you had at least 4 sudden drop events in your leak readings
- You don't have significant central sleep apnea or severe nasal blockage

This trial looks at ways to fix air leaks that happen when using a CPAP mask at night. It may help if you have sleep apnea and your CPAP is leaking a lot despite using a nasal mask.
This study checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
This study compares two different types of positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which one you prefer and are more likely to use consistently. It aims to find the best option for you and improve your sleep apnea treatment.
This study tests a new device called PAP-NAP that might help people with sleep apnea during a short daytime nap. It looks at how well you can nap with this device while being monitored.
This study tests whether combining CPAP with special mouth and tongue exercises can improve sleep apnea better than CPAP alone. It is for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have not tried CPAP before.
This study tests different PAP machines (devices that help you breathe at night) to see how well they work and how comfortable they are. If you already use a PAP machine for sleep apnea, you might be able to try new machines for a week each and share your experience.
