Tiny implant in the mouth aims to quiet snoring and ease sleep apnea
NCT ID NCT07613281
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a small device called the Serene Sleep Palatal Implant, placed in the soft palate to reduce snoring and mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. About 26 adults will be split into two groups based on their condition. The main goal is to check safety, like whether the implant stays in place and causes no serious side effects, compared to an older implant. Researchers will also track changes in snoring severity and sleep quality.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Palatal implant system (a small device placed in the soft palate to stiffen tissue and reduce airway collapse)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, one-time procedure to reduce snoring and improve breathing during sleep for people with mild-to-moderate sleep apnea.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage safety study with only 26 participants. The implant may cause discomfort, extrusion, or fail to improve symptoms. Results may not apply to everyone.
