Testing sleep apnea treatment on airway collapse during sedation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks how well hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy keeps your airway open while you are sedated. It may help people already using this therapy understand if it is working.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must be currently treated with hypoglossal nerve stimulation for sleep apnea with an AHI score of 15 or higher.
- You must be able to give informed consent.
- Your sleep study must have been done at Antwerp University Hospital.
- You cannot have serious nose, throat, or stomach conditions, or be pregnant.
- You cannot drink more than 20 alcohol units per week or use hard drugs.

This trial tests a nerve-stimulation implant for sleep apnea when other treatments haven't worked. It may help if you have moderate to severe apnea, a BMI under 32, and have tried CPAP and a mouth device without success.
This study is tracking how well a nerve stimulation device works for people with obstructive sleep apnea who can't use a CPAP machine. The device, called Inspire, sends mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep.
This study looks at results from a sleep test to better understand the different types (“endotypes”) of obstructive sleep apnea. Your information may help doctors choose the next best step—often a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE)—to guide treatment.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your heart and blood vessels over time. It uses a sleep study and heart tests to see if certain measurements can predict heart health changes.
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 trial tests a nerve stimulation treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in people who are overweight and cannot tolerate CPAP. It focuses on how the treatment affects metabolism and weight.
