Reducing Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Through Mandibular Advancement

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of mandibular advancement devices (MAD) for treating severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients who are CPAP intolerant and have failed hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS).
