Comparing two PAP machines for sleep apnea therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two different continuous positive airway pressure (PAP) machines, the KPAP and the ResMed AirSense 11 with EPR, to see if one works better for treating obstructive sleep apnea. If you're already using a PAP machine, you may be able to join and help find out if a newer device improves your therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of sleep apnea devices (CPAP and APAP) to see which works better for people with obesity who are waiting for bariatric surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage sleep apnea before and after the procedure.
This study tests two different ways to help people breathe better during sleep. If you were recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), this trial may help you find which device works best for your condition.
This study compares two types of masks used with sleep apnea machines to see which one is more comfortable and effective. You'll be newly diagnosed with sleep apnea and willing to try a mask-based treatment to find out which works best for you.
This study compares two ways to improve how CPAP therapy is delivered, to see which helps people use their machine more consistently. It is for adults who have been recently diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and have not yet started treatment.
This trial compares different positive airway pressure (PAP) machines to see which works best for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed but haven't used a CPAP yet, this study may help find the best option for you.
