Long-term study of CPAP or a mouth guard for sleep apnea
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies how CPAP (a breathing machine) or a custom mouth guard (MAD) affects sleep over the long term in people with obstructive sleep apnea. It may help confirm which treatment improves sleep and how well it works over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already enrolled in the SunSAS study, or you have had an overnight sleep study (test used to qualify you for CPAP or a mouth guard).
- Your sleep test must be done with the Sunrise device.
- You’re between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your diagnosis means you are eligible to use CPAP or a mouth guard (MAD).
- You can complete the study and sign informed consent.
- You have not used CPAP or a mouth guard for sleep apnea in the past 5 years.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a mandibular advancement device (a fitted mouthpiece) can control sleep apnea when you temporarily stop CPAP. It’s mainly for people who have been using CPAP for over a year but are now willing to try the mouth device.
This study looks at how well people with heart disease or high heart risk follow their sleep apnea treatment, comparing a mouth device (MAD) to a CPAP machine. It aims to find which treatment works better for daily use.
This trial tests whether a wearable device called Sunrise can help doctors adjust your CPAP machine better than standard sleep tests. If your current CPAP isn't stopping all your breathing pauses, this study may help find the right adjustments for you.
This trial tests a new home-based sleep monitor that goes under your mattress. It may help people with obstructive sleep apnea who are using a mouthpiece (MAD) as treatment.
This study checks how ResMed CPAP mask systems work in real-life use for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help improve comfort, fit, and performance based on what patients experience over time.
This trial tests if a new 3D scanning method can better fit a dental device (MAD) for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help those using a MAD get more effective treatment.
