Could a cannabis pill ease dangerous sleep apnea?

NCT ID NCT06477952

Summary

This study is testing whether a two-week course of dronabinol, a medication derived from cannabis, can reduce the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. It will involve about 120 veterans with moderate sleep apnea who will take the oral medication and have sleep studies before and after treatment. The goal is to see if the drug reduces breathing pauses during sleep and to identify which patients might benefit most from this potential new treatment option.
