This study is looking at whether a special mouthguard, called a midline traction oral appliance, can help pregnant women who snore get better sleep. Many pregnant women experience snoring and poor sleep, which can be linked to health issues for both mother and baby. The oral appliance works by gently moving your lower jaw forward to open up your airway. Researchers will measure your sleep quality using home sleep recordings over five weeks to see if the appliance makes a difference. To join, you should be a pregnant woman between 18 and 45 years old who snores, and meet other health criteria. The study aims to enroll up to 20 participants.

Study design

This is an interventional study with up to 20 participants, where everyone receives the oral appliance.

What's involved

You would participate for at least five consecutive weeks, completing home sleep recordings at three different times and filling out surveys. You would also learn to apply the sleep recorder and oral appliance.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

After the initial 4-week period, you can continue to use the oral appliance and have your sleep recorded at 8-week intervals for the rest of your pregnancy.
