New sleep apnea mask aims to make breathing easier all night long
NCT ID NCT06413134
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new device called KPAP to standard APAP for treating obstructive sleep apnea. The goal is to see if KPAP, which delivers lower pressure during breathing out, is more comfortable and used more each night. About 30 adults with sleep apnea will try both devices at home. The main focus is on how many hours per night people use the therapy.
