Using the PLATO Questionnaire in Oral Appliance Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective, observational study takes place in a dental sleep practice to see if the PLATO patient-reported outcome tool can be integrated into routine care for people treated with oral appliance therapy. It focuses on feasibility and practicality in a real-world setting, rather than controlling variables as in a traditional trial. Participants are adults with obstructive sleep apnea treated with oral appliances, and data includes their PLATO responses and basic clinical information. The study will help determine if PLATO can support ongoing patient monitoring in dental sleep clinics and inform future research. It does not involve a treatment comparison or randomization.
