Testing silicone mouth tape to reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea

This trial is testing silicone mouth tape as a simple way to help people with snoring and mild sleep apnea. Snoring affects millions of people worldwide and can reduce sleep quality for both the person snoring and their bed partner. Researchers want to see if this medication can help people breathe better through their nose at night and reduce snoring.

Snoring is often dismissed as harmless, but it can actually cause daytime tiredness, poor sleep quality, and even increase stroke risk. Current treatments like CPAP machines or oral appliances are expensive and often not covered by insurance, so doctors are looking for simpler, more affordable options.
