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 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 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 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 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.
This trial tests if CPAP (a mask that helps you breathe at night) can improve asthma control in people who have both severe uncontrolled asthma and sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep). You should not have been hospitalized for asthma in the last month.
