Mouth and throat exercises for snoring and mild sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different forms of oral myofunctional therapy (exercises for your mouth and throat) to find out which works best for reducing snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. It may help you breathe better and sleep more soundly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.

This study tests whether daily swallowing exercises can help people with sleep apnea who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. It compares three groups: healthy people, successful CPAP users, and those who have difficulty using CPAP.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a passive mouth/oral appliance can lessen snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea. It may help you by improving airflow during sleep without other intensive treatments.
This trial tests if wearing silicone tape over your mouth at night can help reduce snoring and improve mild sleep apnea. You will use the tape and report how you and your partner feel about your snoring.
This study tests if doing specific tongue and mouth exercises can help people with obstructive sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea and are willing to pause other treatments for 3 months, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if a special mouth and throat exercise program can help people with obstructive sleep apnea who use a CPAP machine. It is designed for adults recently diagnosed with sleep apnea and aims to see if these exercises improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether combining mouth and throat exercises with a CPAP machine (a device that gently pushes air to keep your airway open while you sleep) can help people with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night. The study aims to see if this combination approach is effective and safe for you.
