Mouth device for sleep apnea and nighttime reflux
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a custom mouth device made to help with sleep apnea can also reduce nighttime heartburn or reflux. If you have sleep apnea and wake up with acid reflux, this trial may offer relief without CPAP or medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with sleep apnea (confirmed by an overnight sleep study)
- You have nighttime heartburn or reflux symptoms
- You are not currently using a CPAP machine
- You have enough natural teeth to wear a mouth device
- You are not taking medication for reflux currently

This trial tests whether a custom mouthpiece that gently moves your jaw forward during sleep can reduce strain on your heart and improve your quality of life. It is for people with stable heart failure who may have undiagnosed sleep breathing problems.
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 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 a custom mouthpiece (like a dental retainer) to see if it can improve your sleep quality and heart health during sleep. If you are a healthy adult aged 40–65 with a normal to slightly high weight and a desk job, you may be able to join.
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.
