This study tests a new device for sleep apnea that you can use instead of a CPAP machine. If you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and CPAP isn't working well for you, this study may help find an easier option.
This trial tests a new nerve-stimulation therapy called Neuromod to treat moderate-to-severe sleep apnea in people who do not have access to other treatments. If you qualify, you would be part of a study to see if this implant helps improve your breathing during sleep.
This study looks at whether changing lung air volume affects how open or blocked your upper airway is during a drug-induced sleep test (DISE). It may help guide surgical choices for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
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.
This study tests a device that stimulates nerves in the neck to help keep your airway open during sleep for obstructive sleep apnea. If you fit the safety and sleep-study requirements, it may offer an alternative approach to improving breathing at night.
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.
