What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether telehealth care, including a human sleep navigator, works as well as private sector care for obstructive sleep apnea in 160 military members aged 18-64. Participants will receive education, support, and troubleshooting via telehealth. The goal is to see if this approach improves PAP machine use, reduces symptoms, and saves money, ultimately boosting military readiness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Sleep Navigator (behavioral support and education)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that telehealth with a sleep navigator is a cost-effective way to manage sleep apnea in the military, improving health and readiness.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study (160 people) comparing two care models, not testing a new drug or device. Results may not apply to all settings, and the intervention may not be as effective as in-person care.
