Summary
This study tested whether a mandibular advancement device (MAD) — a mouthpiece that moves the jaw forward — can reduce how often people with obstructive sleep apnea wake up to urinate at night (nocturia). Eleven adults with sleep apnea and at least two nightly bathroom trips took part. They used the device and tracked their urination; if trips dropped below two per night, a follow-up sleep test checked for breathing improvements.
