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 study compares two surgical approaches to treating moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—a condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep. The surgery moves the lower and upper jaw forward to open the airway. Researchers want to see if a newer technique without splints (wires holding the jaw in place) works as well as the traditional method with splints.
This study looks at how maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery affects quality of life in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to see if the surgery helps improve sleep and daily well-being.
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 what happens to sleep apnea after jaw-advancement surgery (a procedure that moves the lower jaw forward to open the airway). Researchers want to understand central sleep apnea—a different type that can develop after surgery—and help improve treatment outcomes.
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 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.
