Testing a device to check sleep breathing in schizophrenia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a non-wearable device to assess sleep-disordered breathing in people with schizophrenia who are hospitalized. It aims to understand if this easy method can help monitor sleep issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two wearable sensors that track how hard you breathe while you sleep. It may help diagnose sleep and breathing problems without needing a hospital visit.
This study looks at whether treating sleep apnea can help people with serious mental illness (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder) and also compares them to healthy people. It aims to improve sleep and possibly mental health symptoms.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
This study tests if playing sounds during sleep can improve brain function in people with schizophrenia. You will be asked to do a finger tapping task while we measure your brain activity with MRI.
This study checks breathing/sleep measurements done at home for people who recently started a machine that helps them breathe without an endotracheal tube. It may help the team confirm how well home monitoring works after hospital setup of this breathing support.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
