Improving sleep for African American couples with OSA
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a couple-based approach helps African American patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea stick with CPAP therapy better. It is designed for patients and their bed partners who want to improve sleep health together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have moderate to severe sleep apnea (at least 15 breathing pauses per hour during sleep)
- You are 30 years or older
- You have had the same bed partner for at least 6 months, and your partner agrees to join the study
- Both you and your partner speak English well
- You are not pregnant, do not have a terminal illness, do not have a memory or thinking problem that would prevent you from understanding the study, and have stable housing

This trial tests an educational program to help people with sleep apnea start using CPAP at home. The program is designed to motivate and guide you through the process of adapting to CPAP therapy.
This study tests whether motivation and psychological support can help people with severe sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently over three months.
This trial tests whether telemonitoring (checking in remotely) helps people with severe sleep apnea adjust to CPAP therapy. If you live in São Paulo and recently started CPAP, this study may help you get extra support.
This trial tests whether giving CPAP (a machine that helps you breathe at night) right away, without waiting for a formal sleep study, can help people who likely have sleep apnea. It aims to provide quicker treatment, especially in areas where sleep studies are not easy to get.
This study tests whether treating insomnia early can help people stick with CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. It uses a digital program on your smartphone.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
