Pill vs. machine: new hope for Opioid-Related sleep apnea

NCT ID NCT06043830

Summary

This study tested whether a medication called acetazolamide could improve breathing problems during sleep for people with chronic pain who use opioid medications. The goal was to find an alternative for those who cannot use the standard CPAP machine treatment. In this completed Phase 2 trial, 39 participants took the study pill and a placebo for one week each to compare the effects on their sleep apnea.
