Oral device for sleep apnea after palate surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (mild to severe).
- You do not have chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps.

- You are not morbidly obese (BMI over 40 or similar).
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or nerve problems that make exercise unsafe.
- You are not pregnant and have not abused drugs or alcohol in the past year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a device that helps with exercises for the mouth and throat in people with obstructive sleep apnea who are already using a CPAP machine. The goal is to see if these exercises can improve sleep apnea symptoms.
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.
This study tests whether combining CPAP with special mouth and tongue exercises can improve sleep apnea better than CPAP alone. It is for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have not tried CPAP before.
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a specific type of palate surgery can treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in people who cannot tolerate CPAP (a breathing mask). It also checks patient traits (based on sleep testing) to see who is most likely to benefit from surgery.
This study tests whether adding a special mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) can help people whose sleep apnea wasn't fully treated by a nerve stimulator implant. You would use the mouthpiece at night and take home sleep tests to see if your breathing improves.
