Mayo Clinic REMplenish Trial
Mayo Clinic is starting a clinical trial on REMplenish for patients with mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. This research study is being done to determine whether the repetition and resistance from the daily use of the REMplenish myofunctional therapy nozzle will improve obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring in participants.
REMplenish Usability Study
Our initial 2020 usability study found that after one month of using REMplenish, users' overall satisfaction with the product was 80%; 93% reported subjective improvements in reducing snoring intensity, occurrence, and/or impact; and 34% of participants reported improvements in tiredness. Bedpartner-reported median snoring intensity decreased from somewhat loud to soft or quiet, overall snoring occurrence decreased, and median snoring impact reduced.
