Mouth guard for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a custom mouth guard to treat obstructive sleep apnea by keeping the airway open during sleep. It also checks if a questionnaire can help predict who benefits most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have mild to moderate sleep apnea (AHI between 10 and 30) or severe sleep apnea (AHI > 30) and cannot use CPAP
- You feel sleepy during the day (based on a standard questionnaire)
- Your mouth and teeth are healthy enough for a custom-fit mouth guard
- You are willing to use only the mouth guard (not CPAP) and have a smartphone
- You are not pregnant, on home oxygen, or have serious health conditions like heart disease, recent stroke, cancer, or dementia

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 whether sharing real-time oxygen level data with patients on a smartphone app helps them use a dental sleep device (a custom mouthpiece) more consistently. The goal is to improve how often people wear the device and manage their sleep apnea.
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 study tests whether using an anti-snoring mouth guard (a mandibular advancement appliance) can help keep your airway open during sleep if you have obstructive sleep apnea. If you’re referred for this kind of mouth guard, the trial will see if using it more regularly or in a specific way improves symptoms or breathing during sleep.
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 trial looks at how effective an oral (mouth) appliance is over the long term for people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you already use a mouth device, this study may help doctors understand whether it continues to work well over time.
