NCT ID NCT07447011
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) plus CPAP therapy can reduce eye pressure in people with glaucoma, sleep apnea, and obesity. Forty participants will be split into two groups: one gets CPAP alone, the other gets CPAP plus lifestyle changes. The main goal is to see if eye pressure drops after three months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lifestyle corrections (low-calorie diet and treadmill walking) and CPAP
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining lifestyle changes with standard sleep apnea treatment helps lower eye pressure in glaucoma patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Lifestyle changes can be hard to maintain long-term.
