Nap study for people using CPAP for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called PAP-NAP that might help people with sleep apnea during a short daytime nap. It looks at how well you can nap with this device while being monitored.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can read and understand English.
- You have been using CPAP therapy for at least 3 months for sleep apnea.
- You use CPAP with a fixed pressure setting below 16 cmH2O.
- You currently use a nasal mask that fits well (medium size).
- You can come to one clinic visit and have a supervised daytime nap of up to 90 minutes while being video recorded.
- You do not have any lung disease like COPD, lung cancer, or recent lung infection, and you are not pregnant or using other implanted devices that could be affected by magnets.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This study checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to help keep your airway open while you sleep. It may be an option if you have tried CPAP but found it too difficult to use regularly.
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 trial is testing whether a new implanted device is safe and feasible for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help if you cannot tolerate CPAP (a common breathing device) and your apnea is caused by airflow blockage at the back of the tongue area.
