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 tests a personalized treatment approach for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on your specific type of the condition. If you've just been diagnosed and haven't had surgery or used a CPAP machine, you may qualify.
This study looks at whether having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) raises the risk of a certain type of glaucoma (normal tension glaucoma). If you are newly diagnosed with OSA and will use CPAP treatment, you may be able to join and help prevent vision loss.
This trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
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 uses multiple non-invasive imaging methods to evaluate blood flow in the optic nerve head for people with acute or chronic optic nerve conditions, including NAION, optic neuritis, LHON, and NTG.
