Electrical stimulation trial for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It's for people with moderate sleep apnea who have trouble using a CPAP machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older with obstructive sleep apnea (AHI between 5 and 40 events per hour).
- You have tried using a CPAP machine but could not use it for at least 4 hours a night on 70% of nights for 3 months.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 32.
- You do not have large tonsils, polyps, or other blockages in your throat.
- You have a smartphone and internet at home.
- You do not have certain medical conditions like severe heart failure or a recent heart attack, and you do not have an implanted medical device like a pacemaker.

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 trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
This study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for your condition.
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 whether combining electrical stimulation (via an Inspire device you already have or will get) with two medications can better treat obstructive sleep apnea. You'll help researchers understand if this combination works better than the device alone.
This study looks at how well current and new devices can diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). You may help researchers find more accurate and easier ways to detect breathing problems during sleep.
