Airway changes after sleep apnea surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) may affect your airway. The goal is to understand if the surgery makes it easier to manage your airway in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have an ASA score of 1, 2, or 3 (a measure of your overall health before surgery).

- You can provide verbal and written consent to take part.

This surgery expands the palate to treat obstructive sleep apnea caused by a narrow upper airway. It may help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have a specific type of airway collapse seen on a sleep-endoscopy test.
This study checks dental patients for the risk of sleep apnea before surgery and looks at whether that risk is linked to problems after general anesthesia. It may help you understand your own risk and improve safety.
This study looks at sleep recordings to group people with obstructive sleep apnea based on their unique signals. The goal is to match each person to the best treatment for them.
This trial uses a simple lung ultrasound to see if it can help doctors better manage patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during surgery. If you have OSA and are having surgery, this study may show a new way to improve your care.
This study looks at how sleep patterns change in the first three nights after surgery for people who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to understand how anesthesia and sleep apnea severity affect sleep quality during recovery.
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.
