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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if a special mouth and throat exercise program can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who use a CPAP machine. It is designed for adults recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and aims to see if these exercises improve symptoms.
This trial looks at a modified palate surgery to treat mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea in people whose CPAP machine isn’t working for them. It may help if your sleep apnea is caused by the tissue behind the soft palate collapsing rather than other airway areas.
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 trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
This trial looks at how effective an oral (mouth) appliance is over the long term for people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you already use a mouth device, this study may help doctors understand whether it continues to work well over time.
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.
