Ultrasound test in pregnant women with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a quick ultrasound scan of the mouth and throat to see if it can help find pregnant women who have or are at risk for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can affect breathing during sleep, and this might help doctors give better care during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and at least 18 years old.
- You are more than 20 weeks along in your pregnancy.
- You have been diagnosed with sleep apnea in the last year, or you are at high risk for it (based on a simple screening questionnaire).
- You have not had surgery on your mouth, head, or neck, and you do not have active head or neck problems like cancer or infection.
- You are not currently using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.

This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study uses ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to check for signs of high blood pressure in the lungs in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to see how often this occurs and may help detect heart issues earlier in OSA patients.
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 trial tests whether a special computer model can predict sleep apnea severity using a stethoscope and a fingertip oxygen sensor, instead of a full sleep test. It might help people get faster and easier sleep apnea diagnosis.
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
This study tests whether using lung ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help reduce breathing complications after surgery.
