BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder
associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, and reduced quality of life. OSA is
a significant risk factor for road traffic accidents and is strongly linked to obesity, with nearly 60-70% of
affected individuals being overweight. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the
standard treatment, adherence is often low due to discomfort. Alternative therapeutic approaches, such as
oro-facial myofunctional therapy and inspiratory muscle training (IMT), have shown promise in
improving OSA symptoms.OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of oro-facial
myofunctional therapy and IMT in reducing OSA severity and improving sleep quality in patients with
mild to moderate OSA.
