Willingness to use a sleep apnea mouthpiece
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests how well people accept a mouthpiece (mandibular advancement device) to treat obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep). If you have sleep apnea and can wear a device that moves your lower jaw forward while you sleep, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A medical need for a mandibular advancement device (mouthpiece) to treat sleep apnea
- You can move your lower jaw forward by at least 5 millimeters
- You have stable false teeth (crowns, bridges, implants, or well-fitting partial dentures)
- Your mouth has teeth or dentures on both sides, at least as far back as your second premolars
- You are legally able to consent and have signed a consent form
- You do not have certain medical conditions (like severe arthritis, fibromyalgia, central sleep apnea, lung disease, untreated gum disease, or long-term use of certain strong pain or psychiatric medications)

This study compares two common treatments for moderate sleep apnea: a custom mouthpiece that gently advances your jaw, and a CPAP machine that blows air to keep your airway open. The goal is to see which treatment works better for improving sleep and daytime symptoms.
This study looks at a new way to use digital dental scans to fit a mouthpiece that treats obstructive sleep apnea. If you use this mouthpiece, the study may help make fitting more comfortable and accurate.
This study looks at whether a mandibular advancement device (a fitted mouthpiece) can control sleep apnea when you temporarily stop CPAP. It’s mainly for people who have been using CPAP for over a year but are now willing to try the mouth device.
This study tests how well a dental device called a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) prevents changes in your bite and jaw alignment. It is for adults with sleep-disordered breathing who already have healthy, well-restored teeth.
This study compares two types of dental mouthpieces used to treat sleep apnea. Participants will temporarily stop using their current mouthpiece for two weeks to see how they do without it.
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.
