First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a sleep medication (eszopiclone) can help people with obstructive sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently and improve their thinking skills. About 250 adults with a new sleep apnea diagnosis will be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo. The goal is to see if raising the brain's arousal threshold makes CPAP therapy easier to tolerate and more effective.
