Daytime exercises could replace sleep apnea machines

NCT ID NCT04608552

Summary

This study tested whether daytime mouth and throat exercises could help control mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. Researchers compared real exercises to fake exercises in 209 veterans to see if they improved breathing during sleep, daytime function, and sleepiness. The goal was to find an alternative to nightly breathing machines that many people find hard to use consistently.
