Jaw deformities linked to sleep and posture issues?
NCT ID NCT03532828
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 100 people with jaw deformities to see if they have sleep problems and how their body posture and breathing are connected. Participants had sleep tests and posture measurements before and after corrective jaw surgery. The goal was to better understand these relationships, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how jaw problems affect sleep and posture, potentially leading to improved treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no new treatment being tested. It is small (100 participants) and results may not apply to everyone with jaw deformities.
