First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can also reduce pain and problems in the jaw and face, known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Forty-one adults with OSA but not yet on treatment were checked for TMD before starting therapy and again after at least 18 months. The goal was to see if better sleep leads to less jaw pain and dysfunction.
