New ways to diagnose sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether new technologies, like a small wearable sensor, can accurately diagnose sleep apnea compared with the standard overnight sleep test. It may help people get easier, more convenient sleep apnea diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and follow all study procedures.
- If you currently use a CPAP or similar breathing device, you must be able to stop using it during the overnight sleep test.
- You must not need oxygen therapy while sleeping.
- You must not have untreated sleep disorders other than sleep apnea (like severe insomnia), a pacemaker or certain heart rhythm issues, or take certain heart medications.
- You must not have worked an overnight shift in the last 3 days; you must be able to use the NightOwl sensor (a small device worn during sleep).

This study tests a home sleep testing system called SleepView+ in people who have already been scheduled for an overnight sleep lab study. If you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, this device might offer a more convenient way to monitor your sleep at home.
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 study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This study tests different PAP machines (devices that help you breathe at night) to see how well they work and how comfortable they are. If you already use a PAP machine for sleep apnea, you might be able to try new machines for a week each and share your experience.
This study compares a new device that tracks jaw movement during sleep to the standard sleep study (polysomnography) for diagnosing sleep apnea. You may be eligible if you have symptoms like loud snoring or daytime sleepiness and have been referred for a sleep study.
This study compares two types of breathing therapy for people with sleep apnea to see which is more comfortable. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried treatment yet, this could help you find a more comfortable option.
