SLEEP APNEA, OBSTRUCTIVE

This pilot study is testing a new device designed to help adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot use or do not like standard CPAP machines. The study will see if the device is comfortable, easy to use, and can reduce the number of times a person s…

This study is testing a jaw surgery called maxillomandibular advancement for people with moderate to severe sleep apnea who can't tolerate standard mask treatments. Researchers will follow 48 participants over time to see if the surgery improves breathing during sleep, reduces da…

This study is testing a support program called REPOSE, which uses a patient navigator to help families overcome barriers to care for children with sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea). The navigator works with 80 families to coordinate appointments, provide resources, an…

This study is checking how well a nasal airway device works for controlling sleep apnea over a full year. It follows 20 people who already used the device in a previous study and want to keep using it. Researchers will stay in touch with participants and check their sleep quality…

This study is testing if using a CPAP machine for a year can reduce high red blood cell counts in people with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. Researchers will compare blood counts and quality of life in 182 people randomly assigned to either use CPAP or not. The goal is to see if…

This large, late-stage study is testing a weekly injection called eloralintide for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are also overweight or have obesity. The goal is to see if the drug can help reduce the number of breathing pauses during sleep (sleep apn…

This study aims to improve the selection process for an implanted device that treats sleep apnea. Researchers will test if a simple measurement of airflow, taken during a standard pre-surgery procedure, can predict whether the device will successfully treat a patient's sleep apne…

This study is testing a new device that measures sensitivity in the throat to see if it can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will use the device on 117 adults who are already scheduled for a standard sleep study. The goal is to determine if this new test i…

This study is testing whether adding a special stitching technique (lateral pharyngoplasty) to a standard tonsil removal helps children recover better. Researchers want to see if kids have less pain, start eating normally faster, and have fewer bleeding problems after surgery. Th…

This study aims to understand why children with sleep apnea often struggle to use their prescribed breathing machines (PAP therapy). Researchers will follow 82 children and teens aged 8-18 who are starting this treatment. They will track whether having insomnia (trouble falling o…

This study aims to understand how breathing through the nose versus the mouth affects airway collapse in people with sleep apnea. Researchers will observe 50 adults with sleep apnea during a standard sleep test and an overnight lab study. The goal is to gather information to help…

This study aims to understand how obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) affects blood sugar levels in adults with Type 1 diabetes. Researchers will observe 40 adults who have both conditions, using continuous glucose monitors to track…
