Optic nerve injury in obstructive sleep apnea patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea affects the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain. It is for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who have not yet received treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study looks at whether treating sleep apnea with CPAP can help protect your eyes from a type of glaucoma that can lead to blindness. It may help you understand if managing your sleep apnea also benefits your vision.
This trial tests whether treating sleep apnea with a CPAP machine soon after a stroke can improve recovery. It is for people who had their first moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke and have not used CPAP before.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (a condition where you stop breathing during sleep) might be linked to problems in the tiny blood vessels of the heart. By doing a sleep study and a heart scan, we hope to find ways to better diagnose and treat these heart issues.
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
