Changes in headache characteristics with oral appliance treatment for obstructive sleep apnea

Abstract Changes in headache characteristics in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients following oral appliance treatment was investigated for the first time. Thirteen OSA patients with headaches treated with a mandibular advancement device were investigated. Level I polysomnography and Migraine Dis...

Pre-treatment lower PLM index (r = − 0.632, P = 0.027) and higher mean oxygen saturation levels (r = 0.592, P = 0.043) were significantly correlated with higher post-treatment severest headache intensity. Treatment with an oral appliance is beneficial for many OSA patients with headaches. It should be considered as an alternative treatment in headache patients with mild to moderate OSA.Ji Woon ParkSujay MehtaSandra FastlichtAlan A. LoweFernanda R.
