First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a flexible silicone tube that people insert into one nostril before sleep to keep their airway open. It's for adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP machines. Twenty participants will use the device for 30 days to see if it reduces apnea events and is comfortable enough for daily use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
nasopharyngeal airway obstructive sleep apnea (NPA-OSA) device
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a new, more comfortable option for people with sleep apnea who struggle with CPAP machines.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The device must be self-inserted nightly, which may be difficult or uncomfortable for some.
