Low-Tech Treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (NCT07301710)
Myofunctional Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in U.S. Service Members With and Without Traumatic Brain Injury
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The overall purpose of this study is to compare changes in sleep outcomes in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) depending on their participation in one of two behavioral interventions; both involve drinking water and breathing. A second purpose is to compare outcomes between people who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and those with no history of TBI. The main questions it aims to answer are whether sleep quality improves after 3-months of high-resistance versus low-resistance exercises, and whether people have different outcomes depending on their history of TBI.
