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 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 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 tests a new device that may help people who use CPAP for sleep apnea. You will be asked to take a supervised daytime nap of up to 90 minutes using the device during one clinic visit.
This trial looks at how CPAP (a breathing support device) affects the nose area in newborns and infants. If your baby is on CPAP and the doctor is checking for any nose issues, this study may help understand and improve care.
