INFORMing Patients With Oximetry Data to Improve MAD Engagement
120 participantsStarted 2026-06-01
Plain-language summary
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common and associated with impaired daytime functioning, reduced quality of life and increased cardiovascular, metabolic and perioperative risk.
Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are a guideline-supported, non-invasive alternative to CPAP for patients with mild to moderate OSA and for those with severe OSA who refuse or cannot tolerate CPAP.
MAD therapy relies heavily on patient engagement and sustained use over time. However, in usual care, patients typically have limited access to objective information about their treatment response. Titration is often based on intermittent assessments and subjective symptom reporting, with little real-time feedback to patients on treatment effectiveness.
This lack of visibility may limit patient understanding of their condition, reduce engagement with therapy, and delay optimisation of treatment.
Advances in nocturnal oximetry now enable multi-night, home-based assessment of oxygen desaturation and related metrics. The myNarval CC solution provides patients, alongside clinicians, with access to objective oximetry data during MAD therapy. By increasing patient awareness of treatment response, this approach has the potential to enhance engagement, support adherence, and improve the overall treatment experience.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether access to oximetry data through the myNarval CC solution improves patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) compared with standard care in patients treated with MADs for OSA.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants willing to give written informed consent; Participants who can read and comprehend English; ≥ 18 years of age; Participants who have mild-to-moderate OSA, or severe OSA where CPAP has failed, is not tolerated, or is refused; Participants who can participate in the study for up to 4 weeks; Participants who own and can use a smartphone that is compatible with the study app; Participants who have the cognitive ability to follow the study instructions and procedures; Participants who have undergone a panoramic X-ray and are deemed suitable for MRD use
Exclusion Criteria:
* Participants who are pregnant or may be pregnant; Participants who have a major psychiatric disorder that, in the investigator's opinion, could interfere with participation; Participants who have severe insomnia, for example usually sleeping less than about four hours per night; Participants believed to be unsuitable for the study for safety or other medical reasons by the investigator; Participants who are currently enrolled in another medical clinical study; Participants who have central sleep apnoea; Participants who have severe respiratory disorders other than OSA; Participants who have dental contraindications to using an oral appliance, such as loose teeth or advanced periodontal (gum) disease; Participants who have a completely edentulous lower arch (no lower teeth) unless a complete denture that is mechanically retained (for example, by implants) is present; Partici…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
