Mouth exercises vs. CPAP: new study aims to ease sleep apnea without machines

NCT ID NCT07539870

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at whether orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) – exercises for the mouth and tongue – can improve sleep apnea symptoms in adults with mild-to-moderate cases. It will compare OMT alone, CPAP alone, both together, and standard care in 168 participants over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if these treatments reduce breathing pauses during sleep and improve jaw movement.
