New treatment option for Sleep Apnea, Obstructive
Official title Use of Passive Myofunctional Appliances for Snoring and Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05497180
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- It is unknown whether passive myofunctional appliances can be used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring, nor how to select the appropriate size per individual patient. Exploring the possibility of using passive myofunctional appliances as a treatment option for patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring should be considered, especially as the time to fabricate and deliver custom designed dental sleep appliances can be significant (sometimes over a month).
