Testing a tool to predict jaw surgery failure for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies a way to predict which people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may not do well after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (jaw advancement). It could help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid ineffective surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 to 65 years old
- Your sleep study shows AHI 15 or higher per hour (moderate to severe sleep apnea)
- Your body weight falls in BMI 25 to 34.9
- You are considered a good candidate for jaw advancement surgery
- You cannot use or do not want to use PAP (a breathing mask/therapy)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at patients who had jaw surgery for obstructive sleep apnea and then developed central sleep apnea (where the brain doesn't send the right signals to breathe) after surgery. It aims to understand how these breathing problems change over time, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at a new way to use digital dental scans to fit a mouthpiece that treats obstructive sleep apnea. If you use this mouthpiece, the study may help make fitting more comfortable and accurate.
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
This trial is testing whether a new implanted device is safe and feasible for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It may help if you cannot tolerate CPAP (a common breathing device) and your apnea is caused by airflow blockage at the back of the tongue area.
This study is comparing two alternative treatments for moderate to severe sleep apnea in people who cannot or will not use a CPAP machine. The treatments are a custom-fitted dental device and a nerve stimulation implant, and the study will see how well they work.
This trial looks at how well a mouthpiece (NOA OATMAD) works for people already being treated for sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use this type of dental appliance, you may be able to help researchers understand if it is effective.
