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 is testing if a dental device (mouthpiece that moves the lower jaw forward) can work as well as a CPAP machine for people with moderate sleep apnea. It might be a good option if CPAP is uncomfortable or you want an alternative.
This trial tests if a new 3D scanning method can better fit a dental device (MAD) for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help those using a MAD get more effective treatment.
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 trial tests a custom mouthpiece to treat mild or moderate sleep apnea by moving your jaw forward during sleep. It may help you breathe better and sleep more restfully without a bulky machine.
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 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.
