New sleep apnea mask put to the test at home
NCT ID NCT05255744
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared a new prototype nasal mask (Whitsundays) to a standard mask (AirFit N30i) in 30 adults with obstructive sleep apnea. Participants used each mask for 7 nights at home. The goal was to see which mask sealed better, was more comfortable, and easier to use. The study was stopped early, but results may help improve mask design.
