Early CPAP for Sleep Apnea When Sleep Study Is Delayed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting CPAP right away helps people who have strong signs of sleep apnea but can't get a sleep study quickly. If you have symptoms like snoring, daytime sleepiness, or pauses in breathing, this could be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have symptoms of sleep apnea, such as daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, or pauses in breathing during sleep.
- You have a high chance of having sleep apnea, based on a simple questionnaire (STOP-BANG score of 5 or more, or a score of 3-4 with high sleepiness).
- You are waiting for a sleep study because the sleep lab is busy or far away.
- You are able and willing to use a CPAP machine and agree to participate.
- You do not have a condition that requires a different breathing machine (like BiPAP) or urgent care for heart or lung problems.

This study tests whether treating insomnia early can help people newly diagnosed with sleep apnea stick with their CPAP machine. You'll receive a digital program on your smartphone to address sleep problems while starting CPAP therapy.
This study compares blood samples from people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and those without sleep apnea to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition. Half of those with sleep apnea will start CPAP therapy right away, while others wait before starting.
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 study is improving how doctors classify obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). It focuses on sleepiness and heart-related risks to help guide treatment. If you are 40 or older and have untreated OSA, you may be able to join.
This study helps doctors understand how to better adjust sleep apnea breathing machines by measuring your airway. You'll have a simple breathing test and overnight sleep study to help improve treatment.
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.
