Using sound cues to treat positional sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a device that plays sound cues to help you stay off your back while sleeping, which may reduce sleep apnea events. It's for people whose sleep apnea is worse when sleeping on their back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your sleep apnea is much worse when sleeping on your back (at least 50% more events than sleeping on your side).
- You have moderate or severe sleep apnea (AHI over 10).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You can sleep on your back and side without pain or injury.
- You are willing to stop using other sleep apnea treatments for a few days before and during the study.

This study tests if a special sleep tracking mat can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) compared to the standard overnight sleep test. If you snore, feel sleepy during the day, or have poor sleep, joining could help improve diagnosis methods.
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 trial tests if changing sleep position (like avoiding sleeping on the back) can improve sleep apnea in children aged 6 to 17. It may be an option if your child has moderate to severe sleep apnea that gets worse when lying on their back.
This study tests if a special sleep system that keeps you on your side can improve mild obstructive sleep apnea. You may qualify if you have mild sleep apnea and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
This study aims to test whether a special sound technique can help people with sleep apnea sleep better. It may offer a new way to manage the condition without needing a CPAP machine.
This study looks at how well current and new devices can diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). You may help researchers find more accurate and easier ways to detect breathing problems during sleep.
