Telehealth vs. standard care for sleep apnea in military families
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares a telehealth sleep-apnea program to standard care for people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea who are referred to private doctors in the TRICARE network. It aims to see if telehealth is just as effective and more convenient for military families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- You are a TRICARE beneficiary (ADFM or DEERS enrolled)

- Your sleep apnea care was sent to a private doctor in the TRICARE network
- You have a smartphone, tablet, or computer you can use for telehealth
- You are not an active-duty service member

This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
This study compares doing a sleep test at home (including potentially setting it up at your local clinic) versus the standard hospital sleep lab test, to see if the home test is just as good and more cost-effective. If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, this could help you get a diagnosis faster and in a more comfortable setting.
This study tests whether treating insomnia early can help people stick with CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. It uses a digital program on your smartphone.
This study compares three treatments for obstructive sleep apnea: a CPAP machine, a dental mouthpiece, and a combination of two medications (atomoxetine and oxybutynin). Researchers want to see which works best for people recently diagnosed with 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 tests a telemedicine-based program to help adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea use CPAP therapy over the long term. You may benefit if you have sleep apnea and are willing to use a CPAP machine with remote support from your care team.
