Sleep changes after surgery in people with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.

This study looks at what happens to sleep apnea after jaw-advancement surgery (a procedure that moves the lower jaw forward to open the airway). Researchers want to understand central sleep apnea—a different type that can develop after surgery—and help improve treatment outcomes.
This study compares two surgical approaches to treating moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. The surgery moves the lower and upper jaw forward to open the airway. Researchers want to see if a newer technique without splints (wires holding the jaw in place) works as well as the traditional method with splints.
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.
This study looks at how maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery affects quality of life in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to see if the surgery helps improve sleep and daily well-being.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery may change body fat and body shape in people with severe obstructive sleep apnea who use CPAP. It aims to understand what may improve when sleep apnea is better controlled after surgery.
