Could a mouthpiece replace sleep lab tests for apnea?
NCT ID NCT07397780
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks if a special mouthpiece that measures oxygen levels during sleep is as accurate as the standard sleep lab test. Thirty adults with obstructive sleep apnea will wear the device overnight in a sleep lab. If it works well, it might offer a simpler way to track oxygen drops at home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RPMO2 OSA Device (buccal mucosal oximeter embedded in an oral appliance)
- What this could lead to
- If accurate, this device could allow people with sleep apnea to monitor their oxygen levels at home without a full sleep lab visit.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage validation study with only 30 participants. The device may not be accurate enough, and results may not apply to everyone with sleep apnea.
