First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a cheap, once-daily pill called acetazolamide can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who cannot tolerate a CPAP mask. Sixty adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea will receive either the drug or a placebo for 4 weeks each. The goal is to see if the pill reduces breathing pauses during sleep, improves memory and daytime sleepiness, and boosts quality of life.
