Smarter Follow-Up could boost CPAP use and cut costs
Disease control TerminatedThis study compares two approaches to help people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea stay on CPAP therapy. One group receives usual care, where patients reach out if they have trouble. The other group adds active monitoring and extra support only for those who strugg…

Could a single pill help sleep apnea patients breathe easier?
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis trial investigates whether a single dose of the experimental drug DAW2020, taken before sleep, can improve how the brain responds to airway blockages in people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. The study measures changes in the arousal threshold—the point at w…

Freezing the tongue and palate: a new approach to treat sleep apnea
Disease control TerminatedThis study tests a device that uses freezing (cryoablation) on the tongue and soft palate to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults aged 22 to 70 who cannot or will not use standard treatments like CPAP or mouthguards. The goal is to see if the procedu…

Sleep apnea device may keep heart rhythm in check
Disease control OngoingThis study looks at whether using a CPAP machine at night can reduce the chance of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) returning in people who have both sleep apnea and a history of AF. Researchers will follow 91 adults for 12 months, tracking how often they use CPAP and…

Could a drug combo make sleep apnea scopes easier?
Symptom relief OngoingThis study tests whether combining two sedatives, remimazolam and propofol, works better than propofol alone or with midazolam during a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) for people with obstructive sleep apnea. The goal is to see if the combo leads to more succ…

New tool aims to unmask why sleep apnea patients abandon their breathing machines
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study tests a questionnaire called the PAP Problems Triaging Tool, designed to identify why people with obstructive sleep apnea struggle to use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machines. Researchers will ask adults newly prescribed PAP therapy to complete the questionnai…

Breath test may predict sleep apnea severity without needles
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study is testing whether a simple breath test, called fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), can help measure the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will compare FeNO levels in 200 adults with different levels of sleep apnea to see if the test can predic…
