NCT ID NCT07446634
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a jaw surgery called maxillomandibular advancement for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use standard treatments like CPAP machines. The surgery moves the jaw forward to open the airway, and researchers will track breathing, sleepiness, and airway size over time. The goal is to see if the surgery provides lasting relief and is safe.
