Sound therapy for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study aims to test whether a special sound technique can help people with sleep apnea sleep better. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without needing a CPAP machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way of retraining the muscles of your upper airway to help you breathe better during sleep, as an alternative to CPAP. It is for people with moderate sleep apnea who have not yet started CPAP.
This study tests a new sound-based treatment to help people sleep better. If you have trouble sleeping but not severe sleep apnea or hearing loss, you may be able to join.
This study tests a device that plays sound cues to help you stay off your back while sleeping, which may reduce sleep apnea events. It's for people whose sleep apnea is worse when sleeping on their back.
This study uses sound recordings to detect sleep apnea while you are awake and during sleep, which could offer a simpler alternative to traditional sleep studies. If you are suspected of having sleep apnea, this trial may help improve diagnosis and monitoring.
This trial tests a comprehensive breathing and respiratory exercise program for newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help by improving sleep breathing and reducing apnea-related symptoms. You may be eligible if you recently learned you have OSA and meet age and health criteria.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
