First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find out how often sleep apnea occurs in pregnant women and what factors might increase the risk. Researchers will invite pregnant women to undergo a sleep test called polysomnography during their first two trimesters. The goal is to better understand this condition in pregnancy, which could lead to earlier detection and better care for mothers and babies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Polysomnography (a sleep test that records brain waves, breathing, and heart rate during sleep)
- What this could lead to
- If this study succeeds, it could reveal how common sleep apnea is in pregnancy and help identify which women are at higher risk, potentially leading to better screening and earlier treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The results may not apply to all pregnant women, and the accuracy depends on how many participants complete the sleep tests.
