NCT ID NCT07303452
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called the Restora Serene System, which uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate nerves in the neck during sleep. The goal is to keep the airway open in people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use a CPAP machine. Twenty adults will be enrolled to see if the device is safe and reduces breathing pauses during sleep.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Restera Serene System (nerve stimulation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP machines.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early proof-of-concept study with only 20 participants. The device is still experimental, and it may not prove safe or effective enough for wider use.
