Oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well an oral appliance (a mouthguard) works for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It uses a questionnaire to track your progress and makes sure the treatment is helping you sleep better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea (AHI 5-30)
- If your sleep apnea is severe (AHI > 30), you can join if you have refused or cannot tolerate CPAP therapy
- You must have a smartphone to use the home sleep test
- You are only using oral appliance therapy (no other treatments like CPAP or surgery)
- You are not pregnant and do not use home oxygen

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares three treatments for obstructive sleep apnea: a CPAP machine, a dental mouthpiece, and a combination of two medications (atomoxetine and oxybutynin). Researchers want to see which works best for people recently diagnosed with sleep apnea.
This study tests a personalized program to help you manage your sleep apnea. You'll use a smartphone app and get support to improve your sleep habits and increase physical activity, which may make your treatment work better.
This trial looks at how well a mouthpiece (NOA OATMAD) works for people already being treated for sleep apnea. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use this type of dental appliance, you may be able to help researchers understand if it is effective.
This study tests a new wearable mask system that works with your APAP machine to treat sleep apnea. You'll try the mask for up to 7 nights to see if it is easy to use and comfortable.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a passive mouth/oral appliance can lessen snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. It may help you by improving airflow during sleep without other intensive treatments.
