Intermittent oxygen therapy for primary insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a therapy called intermittent hypoxia (brief, controlled low-oxygen sessions) to see if it helps improve sleep in people with primary insomnia. It may be an option if you are between 18 and 60, not taking sleeping pills, and generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have primary insomnia (trouble sleeping not caused by another condition).
- You are not currently taking sleeping pills, or have stopped taking them for at least 2 weeks.
- You live in a low-altitude area (below 1500 meters) and have not traveled to high altitude in the past month.
- You do not have serious health problems like stroke, epilepsy, heart disease, or untreated sleep apnea.

This early-stage study tests a treatment that briefly reduces oxygen during sleep to improve “plasticity,” with the goal of helping people with obstructive or mixed sleep apnea. It also looks at related conditions like high blood pressure and pre-diabetes or cholesterol problems, especially in people who haven’t tried CPAP yet.
This trial studies how temporary low oxygen levels during sleep affect your breathing control. It may help researchers understand and treat sleep apnea better.
This trial tests if brief periods of low oxygen (intermittent hypoxia) can change how immune cells work in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. It may help understand new ways to reduce inflammation.
This study tests whether breathing lower-oxygen air in short breaks changes how the brain and body respond. It is only for medically stable, healthy adults with specific safety screening.
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.
This study looks at how repeated episodes of low oxygen during sleep affect the body in people with severe sleep apnea. It may help researchers understand what causes symptoms and long-term risks, which could guide better treatment decisions.
