PMOS and Sleep Apnea: A Pilot Look at Mitochondrial Function
In women with PMOS, this pilot study tests whether sleep apnea treatment with CPAP improves mitochondrial function in leg muscle tissue.
-
Using entropy to detect sleep breathing problems in chronic lung disease
This project will test whether entropy measurements from simple overnight oxygen and pulse recordings can find sleep-disordered breathing in adults with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, and interstitial lung disease.
-
New method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea using muscle activity measurements
This study is trying out a new, painless way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea by measuring muscle activity in the mouth and throat to see if it can provide accurate results.
-
Using a new device to reduce apnea events in patients with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea
This study is testing a new device called DidgeriTU to see if it can help people with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea have fewer breathing pauses during sleep.
-
Monitoring heart rate, respiration, and sleep using an under-mattress device
This study is testing a new under-mattress device to see if it can help gather better sleep and breathing information for adults suspected of having sleep apnea during their overnight sleep study.
-
Investigating the effects of CO2 on obstructive sleep apnea
This study is testing if giving CO2 during sleep can help people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe better and reduce their sleep apnea events.
-
Using acetazolamide to improve obstructive sleep apnea
This study is testing if a medication called acetazolamide can help people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe better during sleep.
-
Interval exercise for veterans with COPD and sleep apnea
This study is testing if moderate exercise can help veterans with both COPD and sleep apnea feel better and improve their daily activities.

Quick answers
How many OSA clinical trials are recruiting right now?
8, as of November 12, 2026. 1 of them was first registered in the last 30 days. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 4 countries. The most sites are in United States (5 trials), United Kingdom (1 trial), Thailand (1 trial), Australia (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 1/2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
