Summary

This study looks at how myofunctional therapy (exercises for the tongue and throat muscles) might help people with obstructive sleep apnea. Thirty adults will use special devices for 3 months while researchers measure muscle pressure during swallowing and breathing. The goal is to understand why these exercises can improve sleep, not to test a cure or treatment.
