Could a mouthpiece tame a heart rhythm disorder?
Disease control Stopped earlyThis small pilot study tested whether a special oral appliance (like a mouthguard) could reduce episodes of atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. Only 3 people participated, and the study was ended early. The device is already used for snoring and sleep apnea, but i…
