Will jaw surgery breathing problems fix themselves? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07596719
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 60 adults who had jaw surgery (maxillomandibular advancement) for obstructive sleep apnea. Some develop central or mixed sleep apneas after surgery, and researchers want to see if these breathing issues get better, stay the same, or get worse over a year. Participants will have two sleep tests: one at 3-6 months and another at least 12 months after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand whether these post-surgery breathing issues go away on their own, guiding future treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment being tested, so it won't directly lead to a new therapy. Results may not apply to all patients.
