Could a daytime nap replace an overnight hospital stay for sleep apnea device tuning?
NCT ID NCT06559956
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of adjusting a nerve stimulator implant (Inspire system) for obstructive sleep apnea. Currently, patients need an overnight sleep study to fine-tune the device. Researchers want to see if a daytime sleep study works just as well. The trial will enroll 110 adults who already have the implant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
hypoglossal nerve stimulation (Inspire system)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make it easier and more convenient for patients to get their sleep apnea device adjusted, reducing the need for overnight hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (110 people) comparing two methods of adjusting an existing device. It does not test a new treatment, so even if it works, it won't change the therapy itself.
