OBJECTIVES: : Several studies have reported that oropharyngeal myofunctional therapy (OMT) reduces the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, because OMT protocols are often complicated, they take time and effort to implement. The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect of 8 weeks of simple tongue strength training with a training device.
METHODS: : Twenty patients with mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing were randomized to the control group (n=10) or intervention group (n=10). The patients in the intervention group completed 8 weeks of daily tongue strength training using a training device. After 8 weeks, we evaluated each patient for sleep-disordered breathing by portable monitoring. We also evaluated each patient's body mass index (BMI), neck circumference, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, and tongue pressure.
RESULTS: No significant difference was found in the change in apnea hypopnea index (AHI) from baseline to 8 weeks between the control and intervention groups (P=0.44). However, the changes in neck circumference (P=0.02) and maximum tongue pressure (P=0.03) from baseline to 8 weeks were significantly different between the two groups. No significant difference was found for changes in BMI and ESS scores from baseline to 8 weeks between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: : Tongue strength training in patients with sleep-disordered breathing did not significantly improve AHI as measured by portable monitoring, although significant changes were observed for increased tongue pressure and reduced neck circumference.
