Brief summary

The main purpose of this study is to test is mandibular advancement device (MAD) use is associated with reductions in nocturia.

Detailed description

After been informed about the study and informed about risks and benefits, participants will be fitted with a MAD and will be asked to completed questionnaires at baseline, in between follow ups and during follow ups. Nocturia will be assess and appliance will be titrated every 2 weeks until participants report less than 2 voiding per night according to the daily dairies. At that point, second sleep study with MAD in place will be performed to assess treatment effectiveness.

Interventions

DEVICESomnodent Classic

The efficacy of the device will be evaluated in regards to the response of nocturia. Once patients report an average of voiding per night of less than 2 in the preceding 2 weeks of the follow up they will be classified as responders in term of nocturia and will be evaluated with a second sleep study. Efficacy of MAD will be assessed by comparing the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) values of pre and post sleep study with MAD, and they will be classified as responders if they have 50% improvement in AHI.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To Test MAD if Associated in Changes in Nocturia15 weeksAssessment of efficacy of device in terms of nocturia: Patients will complete daily questionnaires to evaluate voiding at night. Average of 2 preceding weeks of the follow up will be used to determine treatment success in terms of nocturia. Once less than 2 voiding's per night is achieved participants will be considers responders in terms of nocturia and second sleep study will be performed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Association Between Change in Nocturia Episodes and Change in Apnea-Hypopnea Index (API)15 weeksPearson Correlation Coefficient between the change in Baseline to Week 15 in average nightly nocturia episodes and the change from Baseline to Week 15 in Apnea-Hypopnea Index (API) following mandibular advancement device therapy.
