Carbon dioxide levels during sleep studies in adults with obesity
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how too much carbon dioxide in the blood (a common problem for people with obesity and sleep apnea) affects breathing during an overnight sleep study. By watching this, doctors hope to find better ways to diagnose and treat sleep apnea in people with obesity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years old or older
- Body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
- Scheduled for an overnight sleep study to check for sleep apnea
- Never used a CPAP machine or other breathing machine for sleep apnea before
- Able to understand the study information and complete questionnaires

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
This study checks how stopping CPAP treatment for a short time affects glucose levels in people with sleep apnea who do not have diabetes. It may help find out if sleep apnea is linked to blood sugar problems.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may change body fat and body shape in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who use CPAP. It aims to understand what may improve when sleep apnea is better controlled after surgery.
This study looks at how people breathe while using their nighttime breathing machine (NIV). It helps doctors understand breathing patterns better for people with COPD or OHS.
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 study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
