Oropharyngeal Exercises and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Conditions
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Registration Number
- NCT04201236
- Lead Sponsor
- Ahi Evren Chest and Cardiovascular Surgery Education and Research Hospital
- Brief Summary
The effects of orofarangeal exercises (OE) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on sleep quality, disease severity, and airway muscle tone have been investigated in several studies. IMT and OE exercise modalities for patients and practitioners have advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended to compare exercise modalities in the studies. Whether OE or IMT exercise type is more effective on disease severity, sleep quality and snoring has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training and oropharyngeal exercises in patients with OSAS in terms of disease severity, snoring, daytime sleepiness, respiratory muscle strength and sleep quality.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Polysomnography 2 day Sleep efficiency, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Higher sleep efficiency and lower AHI values shows that patient have better status and lower disease severity
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximal inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength measurement with mouth pressure device 6 day Respiratory muscle strength
6 minute walk test 2 day Exercise capacity
Epworth Sleepiness Scale 2 day minimum and maximum scores: 0-24. The higher the ESS score, the higher that person's average sleep propensity in daily life (ASP), or their 'daytime sleepiness'
Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire 2 day Quality of life related with sleep. Minimum and maximum scores: 0-16. Higher scores show worse sleep related quality of life
Berlin Questionnaire 2 day Snoring frequency (0-3) and severity (0-4). Higher scores show higher snoring frequency and severity
Fatigue Severity Scale 2 day Fatigue severity. Minimum and maximum scores: 0-7. Scores higher than 4 shows high intensity fatigue perception
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index 2 day Sleep quality. Minimum and maximum scores: 0-21. Higher scores show worse sleep quality
