OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA)

This study is testing a new digital therapy program for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The program uses a phone app with facial recognition to guide people through mouth and throat exercises for three months. Researchers want to see if these exercises…

This study is testing if remote monitoring helps people with severe sleep apnea use their CPAP machine more consistently. It will involve 200 adults in Brazil who are new to CPAP therapy. Half will use a mobile app and remote monitoring system, while the other half will receive s…

This study is testing two standard methods to prevent unwanted bite changes in people who use a special mouthpiece at night for sleep apnea or snoring. Thirty adults will be randomly assigned to either use a morning alignment device or do daily jaw exercises for three months. Res…

This study is testing whether simple daily exercises involving drinking water through a special bottle and breathing through a handheld device can help control obstructive sleep apnea. It will involve 60 U.S. service members, some with a history of traumatic brain injury. Researc…

This registry study follows 1,000 patients across Europe who have received the Inspire implant for obstructive sleep apnea. The goal is to track how well the device works over time and how consistently patients use it during routine medical care. Researchers will collect data fro…

This study is testing a small, implanted device that sends mild electrical pulses to a nerve in the tongue to keep the airway open during sleep. It's for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who have tried and can't use the standard CPAP mask treatment. Research…

This study is testing whether a surgery to remove tonsils and adenoids (adenotonsillectomy) can slow or prevent the worsening of spinal curvature (scoliosis) in children who also have mild sleep-disordered breathing. Researchers will compare children who get the surgery early to …

This study is testing whether a dental mouthpiece is as good as a standard CPAP machine at improving memory and thinking skills in people with sleep apnea who also have mild memory problems and heart disease risk. Researchers will enroll 260 adults in Singapore to use one of the …

This study is testing whether a telehealth program for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) works as well as standard private care for military beneficiaries. It will enroll 160 adults newly diagnosed with OSA to compare treatment adherence, symptoms, and costs. The goal is to see if vi…

This study is testing a portable sleep monitor to see if it can accurately detect obstructive sleep apnea in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will compare the results from the portable device to the standard, more complex overnight hospital sleep test. Th…

This study is testing a new, simpler way to screen for obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers are developing an AI tool that uses a digital stethoscope and a finger sensor to listen to breathing and measure oxygen levels during sleep. The goal is to create an easier, home-based scr…

This study is testing whether short video clips of a child sleeping, recorded by parents on a smartphone, can be a good screening tool for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will compare the video clips' accuracy to standard questionnaires and oxygen re…

This study is testing whether a special high-flow nasal oxygen device can prevent dangerous drops in oxygen levels during sedated endoscopy procedures. The research focuses on 600 patients who are at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea and are scheduled for gastrointestinal exa…

This study aims to evaluate a new system for classifying the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will follow 1,800 adults newly diagnosed with OSA to see if this classification can better predict changes in daytime sleepiness, blood pressure, and other health o…

This study aims to see if ultrasound can reliably measure the tongue's size, fat, and stiffness in children and teens with obesity. Researchers will scan participants' tongues at the start and end of a 30-week inpatient weight-loss program. The goal is to learn if tongue characte…
