First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This UK trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to keep the airway open during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnoea. It is for adults who cannot use standard CPAP therapy. The study will compare the device to usual CPAP care over three months to see if it improves breathing and sleep quality.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with sleep apnoea who struggle with CPAP machines.
