Studying silicone mouth tape for snoring and mild sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if wearing silicone tape over your mouth at night can help reduce snoring and improve mild sleep apnea. You will use the tape and report how you and your partner feel about your snoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or less.
- You have a history of snoring and a bed partner who can answer questions about it.
- You've had a sleep test showing no sleep apnea or only mild sleep apnea (fewer than 15 breathing interruptions per hour).
- You can breathe comfortably through your nose for at least 3 minutes with your mouth closed and tape in place.
- You must not be pregnant, have chronic lung disease, severe tonsils, or prior mouth/tongue surgery.
- You cannot be allergic to silicone (the material in the mouth tape).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a small implant in the soft palate (the back of the roof of your mouth) to help reduce snoring and improve breathing during sleep for people with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea or disruptive snoring. The implant is placed in a short procedure and may help you sleep better.
This study tests different forms of oral myofunctional therapy (exercises for your mouth and throat) to find out which works best for reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
This trial tests an oral device worn during sleep to improve sleep quality for pregnant adults who snore. You may qualify if you meet specific dental and airway (throat/mouth) checks and can use the study sleep recorder and device.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a passive mouth/oral appliance can lessen snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. It may help you by improving airflow during sleep without other intensive treatments.
This study tests whether using an anti-snoring mouth guard (a mandibular advancement appliance) can help keep your airway open during sleep if you have obstructive sleep apnea. If you’re referred for this kind of mouth guard, the trial will see if using it more regularly or in a specific way improves symptoms or breathing during sleep.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
