The Effect of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy With Autofeedback and the Effect of Anatomical and Behavioral Variables on Adherence to Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy in Patients With Mild or Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea

University Hospital, Akershus·interventional·Posted Oct 12, 2023·Updated Apr 1, 2025

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Orofacial myofunctional therapy with autofeedback for Sleep Apnea, Obstructive. Completed, enrolled 106 participants across 2 sites in 2 countries.

Detailed Summary

The overall aim of this study is to estimate the effect of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) plus auto-monitoring compared to auto-monitoring alone. Moreover, the investigators aim to identify anatomical and behavioural predictors of OMT adherence

Interventions

Orofacial myofunctional therapy with autofeedbackbehavioral

Participants opening a code unlocking the OMTa treatment module of the application will be given a direct communication link to the PhD students, Diana Hansen (Norway) and Andres Koster (Estonia) and two research co-ordinators. Dr. Hansen and Andres Köster has obtained an Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT) certification diploma. One physical start up session will be scheduled at Ahus and at North Estonia Medical Center. This 60 minute session will be used to instruct participants in OMT exercises and use of the app. All participants will receive a disposable toothbrush and standardized balloons. After that, biweekly video sessions (time 20-30 min) will be scheduled.
