Summary

This study tests whether myofunctional therapy—special exercises for the tongue, face, and breathing muscles—can help children aged 6 to 12 with obstructive sleep apnea. About 174 children will be split into two groups: one gets the therapy plus standard care, the other gets standard care alone. The goal is to see if the therapy improves sleep quality, reduces mouth breathing, and boosts quality of life.
