Clinical Trial: Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

U.S., July 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07734688) titled 'Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion for Obstructive Sleep Apnea' on July 20.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) can improve obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in late adolescents and adults aged 16 to 60 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does MARPE improve sleep apnea severity, as measured by Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT), including respiratory event index (REI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), mean oxygen saturation, nadir oxygen saturation, snoring events, and body position?

2. Does MARPE improve breathing and sleep-related ...
