Exploring the link between obstructive sleep apnea and nighttime urination
Official title: The Academic Research Project Studies the Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and the Occurrence of Nocturia.
Run by University Hospital Ostrava · NCT06239883 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if there’s a connection between obstructive sleep apnea and waking up at night to urinate in people who have sleep apnea.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who have an Apnea-Hypopnea Index greater than 15.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients using diuretics, those with malignancies, or pregnant individuals may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and nocturia in patients diagnosed with OSA. Participants will undergo routine examinations and complete voiding diaries over a 48-hour period to assess urinary patterns. The primary aim is to identify any correlations between specific parameters of sleep apnea and the occurrence of nocturia, potentially shedding light on this common yet often overlooked symptom in OSA patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of nocturia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, leading to improved management strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the relationship between sleep apnea and nocturia has been explored in some studies, this specific observational approach is relatively novel.
