Sleep apnea treatment study for veterans with heart failure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a medicine called trazodone might help treat central sleep apnea in veterans who also have heart failure. It aims to improve sleep and breathing, which may help you feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a veteran with central sleep apnea (a breathing pause condition) and heart failure with reduced pumping function.
- You must have been on stable heart failure medications for at least 90 days with no recent hospital stays.

This Phase 4 study looks at what’s going on in the body during central sleep apnea and uses that information to guide treatment. If you have central sleep apnea, this could help confirm or improve how treatment is chosen for you.
This trial studies a treatment approach for sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) in Veterans who take prescription opioids. It may help doctors learn safer ways to manage sleep breathing issues that can be made worse by opioid use.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This study looks at treatment for sleep apnea (breathing pauses during sleep) in adults with a spinal cord injury. If you qualify, the trial team may help manage sleep-related breathing problems and track how well the treatment works.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking skills and overall health in older veterans who also have COPD. It may help researchers understand what changes to target to improve daytime functioning and wellbeing.
This study tests whether certain medications can help older adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It aims to improve sleep quality and safety for elderly patients.
