NCT ID NCT07622745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether surgery to fix a blocked nose can improve snoring and sleep apnea in adults. Thirty people with nasal obstruction and sleep apnea had surgery. The main goal was to see if their breathing pauses during sleep (measured by the apnea-hypopnea index) got better. The study also tracked snoring and oxygen levels.
