Mediterranean diet vs standard diet for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares the Mediterranean diet to a standard diet to see which one improves heart and metabolic health in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. You might benefit from learning if changing what you eat can help manage your condition.

This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study looks at whether a regular exercise program can change certain proteins in your body that may affect brain health and sleep. If you have mild to moderate sleep apnea, this could help improve your symptoms and overall well-being.
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter daily window can improve health in people with untreated moderate to severe sleep apnea. You would eat all your meals within a set number of hours each day while tracking your progress on your smartphone.
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.
This study tests a lifestyle and physical activity program as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is for people who have not tried CPAP and want to see if exercise and healthy habits can help.
This trial tests whether changing your lifestyle can help men with sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and erectile dysfunction. It studies how improving diet and exercise might improve these conditions together.
