NCT ID NCT05920083
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involved 65 adults with obstructive sleep apnea who had been using CPAP therapy for at least 6 months. Participants stopped using CPAP for 2 weeks so researchers could measure changes in blood vessel function and nerve control of the heart. The goal was to see if a specific sleep measurement could predict how the body responds to stopping treatment.
