NCT ID NCT03860233
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether an oxytocin nasal spray can reduce the air pressure needed from a CPAP machine during sleep, potentially making treatment more comfortable for people with obstructive sleep apnea. Forty adults who already use CPAP will take part in a 35-night study with three overnight stays in a sleep lab. The goal is to see if oxytocin lowers CPAP pressure and improves daytime sleepiness.
