Strengthening Inspiratory and Oropharyngeal Muscles in Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Summary
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea hypopnea Syndrome (OSAS), whose prevalence is 4% of the French population, can lead to serious health consequences (risk of road accidents, onset of cardiovascular disease, etc.). OSAS corresponds to a certain number of interruptions (apneas) or reductions (hypopneas) of ventilation during sleep. The weakening of the tone of the inspiratory and oropharyngeal muscles is one of the main causes of upper airways obstruction during the inspiratory phase.

Interventions
Inspiratory and Oropharyngeal Muscle Strengthening
Patients will conduct the training at home, 5 days a week for 3 months. They will perform 2 sets of 30 inspirations against resistance (POWERbreathe® K5 , Powerbreathe International Limited, UK), equal to 70% Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP). Patients will be guided for oropharyngeal exercises. The sessions will be supervised by the investigator every 3 weeks. During sessions with the investigator, sessions recorded in the device will be downloaded to verify compliance. A MIP measurement will be performed to adjust the resistance of the device.
