Mouth exercises and CPAP for mild to moderate sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a special mouth and throat exercise program can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who use a CPAP machine. It is designed for adults recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and aims to see if these exercises improve symptoms.
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
This trial tests whether a 3-month program of muscle exercises for breathing and mouth strengthens the airway, to help people with moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep and possibly reduce their symptoms.
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 tests whether health advocates can help people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea start using a PAP machine. If you've never used a PAP or other sleep apnea treatment before, this trial may help you get support and guidance.
