Exogenous ketones for sleep apnea study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a ketone supplement can improve sleep apnea in people who use CPAP. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and use your CPAP regularly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35
- You have moderate to severe sleep apnea with a certain score on your sleep test
- You use your CPAP machine at least 70% of nights for 4 or more hours
- Your CPAP pressure setting is 10 cm of water or lower
- You do not have other sleep disorders, breathing problems, or take certain medications

This study tests whether taking a ketone drink affects sleep and breathing in healthy adults. It is a small, early-stage trial at Johns Hopkins University.
This study tests acetazolamide (a medicine that changes breathing chemistry) to see how it affects sleep quality and neurocognitive (brain/memory/attention) outcomes in adults with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have significant sleep apnea but do not have certain safety risks or need to start standard sleep apnea treatment right away.
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.
This trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It's for people with moderate sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
This study tests whether adding exercise to your current sleep apnea treatment (CPAP machine) can help you breathe better and feel more rested. You'll be asked to follow an exercise program while researchers track how it affects your sleep and daytime energy.
This early-stage study tests a treatment that briefly reduces oxygen during sleep to improve “plasticity,” with the goal of helping people with obstructive or mixed sleep apnea. It also looks at related conditions like high blood pressure and pre-diabetes or cholesterol problems, especially in people who haven’t tried CPAP yet.
