Fixing air leaks with nasal CPAP
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate or severe sleep apnea.
- You use CPAP with a nasal mask.
- You have a high air leak from your mask (above 24 liters per minute) most nights, or at least 4 sudden leak drops in one night.
- You have not had surgery for sleep apnea before.
- You do not have serious heart disease, COPD, neurodegenerative diseases, or severe psychiatric disorders.

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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
