Low-tech treatments for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with sleep apnea or tried a standard treatment (like CPAP) that didn't work.
- You are willing to stop using any sleep apnea treatments (like CPAP or mouthpieces) for 3 months.
- You can follow instructions and do simple exercises.
- You do not have certain health issues like severe nasal blockage, a tongue-tie, facial abnormalities, severe lung disease, severe PTSD, very severe insomnia, or a BMI of 30 or more.

This study tests whether adding exercise to your current sleep apnea treatment (CPAP machine) can help you breathe better and feel more rested. You'll be asked to follow an exercise program while researchers track how it affects your sleep and daytime energy.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
This trial tests a digital therapy program that uses tongue and face exercises to help with sleep apnea. It's designed for people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea but cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine or mouthpiece.
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
