What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Maxillary OSSDevice

    Maxillary OSS will be a night guard for the top teeth. Digital impressions will be taken at the first appointment. After delivery appointment the patient will take home a sleep test monitor and bruxism monitor to record respiration and muscle activity during sleep.This will be a 2 night sleep study (Night A will be without splint and Night B will be with splint). Therefore, the patient will sleep with the mouth guard one night and the monitoring device two nights. Subjects will also undergo cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) airway imaging with and without splint.

  • Mandibular OSSDevice

    Mandibular OSS will be a night guard for the bottom teeth.Digital impressions will be taken at the first appointment. After delivery appointment the patient will take home a sleep test monitor and bruxism monitor to record respiration and muscle activity during sleep.This will be a 2 night sleep study (Night A will be without splint and Night B will be with splint). Therefore, the patient will sleep with the mouth guard one night and the monitoring device two nights. Subjects will also undergo CBCT airway imaging with and without splint.

  • Modified farrar splintDevice

    Modified farrar splint will be a night guard for the top teeth that positions and maintains the lower jaw in a more forward position.Digital impressions will be taken at the first appointment. After delivery appointment the patient will take home a sleep test monitor and bruxism monitor to record respiration and muscle activity during sleep. This will be a 2 night sleep study (Night A will be without splint and Night B will be with splint). Therefore, the patient will sleep with the mouth guard one night and the monitoring device two nights. Subjects will also undergo CBCT airway imaging with and without splint.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Maxillary OSS, Mandibular OSS and Modified farrar splint in people with Sleep Bruxism, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) as measured by the MediByte device (time frame: Baseline(without device),with device). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2024.
