NCT ID NCT04217603
First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a CPAP machine, normally used for sleep apnea, can help people with excessive central airway collapse (a floppy windpipe) walk farther and feel less breathless. About 32 adults will be randomly assigned to use either a real CPAP or a sham device during a 6-minute walk test. The goal is to see if CPAP improves exercise ability and symptoms over up to 3 months.
