Oropharyngeal Exercises and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

NCT04201236 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 41

Last updated 2019-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The effects of orofarangeal exercises (OE) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on sleep quality, disease severity, and airway muscle tone have been investigated in several studies. IMT and OE exercise modalities for patients and practitioners have advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended to compare exercise modalities in the studies. Whether OE or IMT exercise type is more effective on disease severity, sleep quality and snoring has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training and oropharyngeal exercises in patients with OSAS in terms of disease severity, snoring, daytime sleepiness, respiratory muscle strength and sleep quality.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

respiratory muscle strengthening exercise

These exercises strengthen locally inspiratory muscles. IMT can be done with threshold loaded devices.

OTHER

oropharyngeal muscles strengthening exercise

These exercises strengthen locally oropharyngeal muscles. Oropharyngeal exercise can be done with some facial movements .
