Long-term CPAP support for sleep apnea via telemedicine
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a telemedicine-based program to help adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea use CPAP therapy over the long term. You may benefit if you have sleep apnea and are willing to use a CPAP machine with remote support from your care team.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 20 years old.
- You must have moderate to severe sleep apnea (AHI score of 15 or higher).
- You cannot have been diagnosed with sleep apnea before (you may be newly diagnosed).
- You cannot have certain health conditions like heart disease, thyroid problems, chronic kidney disease, or a history of cancer in the last 5 years.

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 ways to help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use their PAP (positive airway pressure) machine more regularly to treat sleep apnea. If you qualify, you'll get extra support to stick with your treatment.
This study tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It may be an option if you have tried CPAP but found it too difficult to use regularly.
This study tests a telehealth program that combines lifestyle coaching and exercise to help people with both COPD and sleep apnea improve their breathing and daily function. It may be a good fit if you are overweight, have a history of smoking, and feel short of breath during light activity.
