Oral device trial for snoring and sleep apnea in throat cancer
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a custom mouth (mandibular advanced) device can reduce snoring and breathing pauses during sleep in people with oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. It also looks at how well you tolerate the device and whether it helps with sleep symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with oropharyngeal (throat) cancer
- You are 18 years or older
- You have had radiation therapy for throat cancer
- You have snoring and/or you notice pauses in breathing during sleep
- You are not currently using CPAP for sleep apnea

This trial tests if giving a short course of radiation (SBRT) along with chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced mouth or throat cancer that is not caused by HPV. It's designed for patients whose tumors can be surgically removed and who haven't had prior cancer treatment.
This trial tests a new tool, called a retractor, that helps doctors see and reach tumors in the mouth, throat, or voice box during surgery. It's for people with suspected or confirmed cancer in these areas who are having a scope exam at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
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.
This trial tests a new way to map mouth and throat sores caused by radiation therapy. It focuses on pain when swallowing to guide treatment, which may help reduce discomfort during cancer treatment.
This study tests whether a special oral device (OPR) can help people with sleep apnea after they have had palate surgery. It looks at how well it works and if the benefits last over time.
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
