Study Summary

This trial will test whether a daily myofunctional therapy regimen can improve sleep apnea and primary snoring.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and snoring, who have a smartphone to log water intake. They must stop any OSA treatments three days before the study. Excluded are those with significant weight changes, excessive daytime sleepiness despite treatment, major health issues affecting fluid intake or upper airway anatomy due to surgeries or conditions like Down's Syndrome.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if using a myofunctional therapy (MT) nozzle on a water bottle daily can improve OSA and snoring compared to a placebo nozzle. Participants will use their assigned nozzles regularly and track their water consumption through an app.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive myofunctional therapy via a special water bottle nozzle, side effects may be minimal but could include jaw discomfort or fatigue from the exercises involved in the therapy.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have had two sleep studies and was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea but can't sleep with a CPAP device. I'm tired and I'd like to be able to get a restful night's sleep and not always feel fatigued.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I have tried nasal strips, nose devices, mouth devices and have Inspire and cannot retain the appliances all night and inspire has not helped snoring. I will not use inspire for the duration of this today.
