Light therapy may ease CPAP troubles for sleep apnea patients
NCT ID NCT06960161
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a type of light therapy called photobiomodulation can help people with obstructive sleep apnea tolerate their CPAP machine better. About 30 adults who currently use CPAP but have trouble with it will receive the light treatment. The goal is to see if it lowers the pressure needed from the machine, making it more comfortable and improving daily use.
