Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who have been clinically diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep) with a severity score of 15 or more events per hour.
• People who live in or are registered as residents in Dalarna County.
• People with a body mass index (a measure of body weight relative to height) between 15 and 35.
• People for whom CPAP therapy (a breathing mask worn during sleep) and mandibular advancement therapy (a mouthguard-type device worn during sleep) have both been tried and have not worked.

Who may not be able to join:

• People who have medical conditions that make general anaesthesia unsafe for them.
• People whose overall physical health is rated as severely compromised or worse under a standard medical classification system used by anaesthesiologists (confirm with trial site).
• People who have central sleep apnea, which is a different type of sleep apnea caused by the brain rather than a blocked airway.
• People who have narcolepsy (a condition causing sudden, uncontrollable episodes of sleep).
• People who have previously had jaw repositioning surgery (orthognathic surgery).
• People with a history of tumour disease or radiotherapy involving the jaw area.
• People with certain other health conditions linked to a higher risk of sleep apnea, including: an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), acromegaly (a hormonal condition causing abnormal growth), diabetes, active widespread rheumatoid arthritis, a diagnosed movement disorder affecting the limbs during sleep, or restless legs syndrome.
