Nerve stimulation for sleep breathing problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses gentle electrical stimulation to improve breathing during sleep. It is for people who have moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing and cannot use or do not get enough help from other treatments like CPAP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing (confirmed by a sleep study).
- You are not able to use, don't tolerate, or don't have access to other treatments for sleep-disordered breathing.
- You are not taking opioids, sleeping pills, or psychiatric medications that can change your breathing or sleep.
- You have not had throat or airway surgery in the last 60 days.
- You do not need daily oxygen therapy.
- You are not pregnant, do not have a serious infection, and do not have other sleep disorders or conditions that could interfere.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a nerve stimulation device for people with moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing who cannot use or tolerate standard treatments. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
This study tests if a new device can help people with severe sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea). It may be an option if you have no or well-managed heart failure and are able to follow study procedures.
This trial tests a new device that uses neural networks to detect sleep stages and arousals. It may help people with sleep-disordered breathing who are starting or already using PAP therapy.
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
