Summary

This study looks at whether special mouth and throat exercises can improve sleep apnea by strengthening the muscles that keep the airway open. Thirty adults with sleep apnea will use myofunctional therapy devices for three months. Researchers will measure muscle pressure in the throat before and after the exercises to see if the therapy works. The goal is to better understand why these exercises might help people breathe easier during sleep.
