Leg stockings may ease sleep apnea symptoms

NCT ID NCT05477719

First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether wearing special compression stockings during the day for 28 days could reduce breathing pauses during sleep in people with sleep apnea. The idea is that the stockings prevent fluid from building up in the legs and moving to the neck at night, which can block breathing. 25 adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea who had stopped other treatments took part.
