Comparing two CPAP machines for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two different CPAP machines to see which one works better for treating sleep apnea. You would continue using CPAP as usual and help researchers learn if a newer machine improves comfort or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from a sleep study in the last 2 years.
- Your apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score was above 10, and you have been using a CPAP or other PAP machine.
- You are 18 years or older and have a body mass index (BMI) above 18.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
- You do not have certain serious medical conditions (like heart failure, COPD, or kidney failure).
- You are not taking medications that affect sleep or alertness, and you do not have other sleep disorders.

This study tests a new APAP machine (called Elara) that helps keep your airway open while you sleep. It looks at how well the device works for people who are already using APAP therapy.
This study compares two types of breathing machines (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with sleep apnea who are having weight-loss surgery. It may help improve sleep and recovery around the time of surgery.
This study compares two different types of positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which one you prefer and are more likely to use consistently. It aims to find the best option for you and improve your sleep apnea treatment.
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.
This study compares two ways of providing breathing support during sleep: a standard continuous pressure (CPAP) versus a more breath-synchronized mode (EPR). It is for people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea who want to see which approach is more comfortable and effective.
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.
