Clinical Trial Summary

This study intends to investigate the improvement in patients with OSA through objective measurement, including oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and the percentage reduction in intermittent mouth puffing (IMP) before and after the intervention. The oral appliances are placed between the tongue and the soft palate to reduce the oral ventilation space. A total of 24 participants aged between 36 and 57 years were identified with ODI above 5 events/hour by measuring their blood oxygen and with an originally designed mouth puffing detector to find out those who were still mouth-puffed when their mouths were taped. A suitable appliance was chosen for the participants between the two originally designed oral appliances, tongue pressed device (TPD) and tongue elevated device (TED), and the intervention lasted for six weeks.
