Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

Myofunctional therapy (MT) nozzle

Placebo nozzle

Arm Description

Subjects diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea will receive a water bottle with a myofunctional therapy (MT) nozzle to use daily

Subjects diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea will receive a water bottle with a placebo nozzle to use daily

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Adherence to Therapy
Patient will use nozzle consistently and as instructed while regularly reporting results
Change in quality of life
Measured using the Calgary Sleep Apnea Quality of Life Index (SAQLI) questionnaire which has a score between 1 and 7 on five different domains. Higher mean scores are suggestive of worse quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Apnea Hypopnea Index
Apnea Hypopnea Index measured by WatchPAT One device
Myofunction Assessment
Myofunction assessment including tongue strength and endurance measurements by IOPI device. This measurement is reported in kPa and seconds. A higher value on these measurements is suggestive of higher tongue strength and endurance.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Myofunctional therapy (MT) nozzle
Intervention Description
Water bottle nozzle designed to allow the user to repeatedly perform the tongue suction, tongue press, and swallow exercise movements while also providing targeted resistance to train and improve tongue, soft palate, and pharyngeal muscle strength and endurance.
Intervention Type
