Behavioural Intervention
Myofunctional Appliances for Sleep Apnea
This trial is testing whether passive myofunctional appliances, which are less expensive and quicker to make than other options, can be an effective treatment for patients with mild obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring.
Procedure
DISE Phenotyping for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This trial will use DISE to examine the upper airway and determine if there are any obstructions in the airway that could cause problems during sleep. It will also use nasal pressure and CT/ultrasound imaging to help predict success of standard surgical interventions to correct any problems found.
Behavioural Intervention
eXciteOSA for Sleep Apnea
This trial will help to improve our understanding of how the eXciteOSA device affects snoring and sleep apnoea and will provide valuable information on whether this new device is an effective treatment for these conditions.
Device
LTR for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
This trial tests a device called the LinguaFlex™ Tongue Retractor, which is placed in the tongue to help keep the airway open during sleep. It targets adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea. By preventing the tongue from blocking the airway, it aims to reduce snoring and sleep apnea episodes.
