NCT ID NCT05618444
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a culturally tailored text-message program can help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults with obstructive sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machine more consistently. Fifty adults will receive automated texts that offer support, troubleshooting, and motivation. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable and satisfying to patients.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Automated text-message support program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults stick with their sleep apnea treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 50 people. It focuses on satisfaction and acceptance, not on whether sleep or health actually improves.
