NCT ID NCT07301021
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often people develop speech or swallowing problems after a jaw-advancement surgery for obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will measure nasality, speech, and swallowing in 28 adults before and after surgery at five different times. The goal is to better understand these side effects, not to test a new treatment.
