Sleep apnea device tracked for years in 1,000 patients
NCT ID NCT06971796
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This registry follows 1,000 people with obstructive sleep apnea who have received the Inspire implant, a device that stimulates nerves to keep the airway open during sleep. Researchers will track how well the device works over time and how consistently patients use it, using routine clinic visits. The goal is to understand real-world outcomes and adherence without adding extra tests or procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Inspire UAS System (implantable device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that the Inspire device effectively controls sleep apnea over many years, helping patients avoid CPAP machines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device works better than alternatives. Results depend on routine care, and some patients may stop using the device.
