Breathing route may change sleep apnea severity
NCT ID NCT06789770
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether breathing through the nose or mouth changes how the airway collapses in people with sleep apnea. About 50 adults will have a sleep endoscopy while lightly sedated. The goal is to see if the breathing route during the test matches natural sleep and affects airway blockage.
