Sleep obstructive apnea
Conditions
Interventions
Inspiratory and expiratory therapy will be performed using the Phillips® brand Treshold imt and pep device respectively. This device uses a resistive load to increase endurance and inspiratory and exp
includes (i) a flow-independent one-way valve to ensure resistance and (ii) a specific adjustable pressure setting (in cmH20). Treshold Efficacy was tested in a 2019 study where OSA severity and dayti
the second experimental group with 10 adults (18 to 65 years) will undergo expiratory therapy
The placebo group with 10 adults (18 to 65 years) will perform inspiratory and expiratory therapy using the same equipment used by the experimental groups, but without impregnating the load.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessment of hypopnea apnea index (AHI) Breathing exercise promotes decreased AHI. ;Evaluate the number of masseter contractions per hour. Breathing exercise promotes decreased number of masseter contractions during sleep. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
