Nighttime breathing problems in obese CPAP users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study will check if obese people who use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea also have trouble breathing during the night. We want to see how common this problem is and find ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have a body mass index (BMI) over 30
- You have been using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea for at least 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of sleep apnea devices (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with obesity who are waiting for bariatric surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage sleep apnea before and after the procedure.
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
This trial tests whether giving CPAP (a breathing mask) in the recovery room can help people with severe obesity breathe better after anesthesia. It may reduce the risk of lung problems after non-heart, non-chest surgery.
This study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for 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.
