Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of barbed suture modification of anterior palatoplasty in the treatment of patients with retropalatal mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. - Patients diagnosed with mild (AHI 5 to15) and moderate (AHI 16 to 30) OSAS with only retropalatal collapses - Patients who are noncompliant with Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients diagnosed with sever OSAS (AHI more than 30) - The main site of obstruction at retrolingual level or multilevel obstruction. - Contraindication of surgery (e.g. cardiovascular problems and bleeding tendency). - Patients with significant craniofacial anomalies affecting airway. - Patients with BMI\>40 kg/m2. - Patients unfit for general anesthesia. - History of previous velopharyngeal or lingual surgeries.
