Jaw advancement surgery for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests jaw advancement surgery for people with obstructive sleep apnea who haven't been helped by CPAP or mouthpieces. It looks at whether moving the jaw forward can improve breathing during sleep.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea (AHI score of 15 or higher).
- You live in or are registered in Dalarna County.
- Your BMI is between 15 and 35.
- You have tried CPAP or a mouthpiece for sleep apnea and it did not work or you could not use it.
- You do not have serious health problems that make surgery unsafe, like certain heart conditions, untreated thyroid issues, or a history of jaw cancer.

This trial compares two ways of doing jaw surgery to treat sleep apnea. One method uses a splint during recovery, and the other doesn't. The goal is to help you breathe better during sleep without needing CPAP.
This study looks at whether removing the tonsils and adenoids helps children with mild sleep apnea open their mouths wider and feel better overall.
This study looks at patients who had jaw surgery for obstructive sleep apnea and then developed central sleep apnea (where the brain doesn't send the right signals to breathe) after surgery. It aims to understand how these breathing problems change over time, which could help improve future care.
This trial studies a way to predict which people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may not do well after maxillomandibular advancement surgery (jaw advancement). It could help doctors choose the right treatment and avoid ineffective surgery.
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 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.
