Impact of a mandibular advancement device on corticomotor plasticity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
Excitability of the masseter and tongue motor pathways is, at least transiently, increased in patients with OSA following a short-term use of MAD. This novel finding of MAD-induced neuroplasticity in corticomotor pathways may contribute to a further understanding of the mechanisms of oral appliances for treating OSA.
