Somnodent for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSApod Trial)

Issue: The prevalence and severity of sleep-disordered breathing increases during pregnancy due to weight gain, physiological and hormonal changes. These sleep breathing disorders have a negative impact on perinatal health for both the mother and the child.The optimal treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in pregnancy is unknown. Although CPAP therapy is often the treatment of choice, the mandibular advancement appliance would be an interesting alternative to solve the matter. Objectives: The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of mandibular advancement device to treat sleep apnea during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. Secondary objectives will be tools to plan a future randomized controlled trial to determine the efficacy of this treatment.
