Digital therapy for sleep apnea with tongue and face exercises
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a digital therapy program that uses tongue and face exercises to help with sleep apnea. It's designed for people who have mild to moderate sleep apnea but cannot or do not want to use a CPAP machine or mouthpiece.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea (AHI score between 5 and 30)
- You have been offered CPAP or an oral device but cannot use it or chose not to
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30

This study tests 'myofunctional therapy' — special exercises for the mouth and face muscles — to see if they help children aged 6–12 with sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It may be an option if your child still has sleep apnea after standard treatments.
This study tests whether simple exercises for the mouth, tongue, and face can help children with mild sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It's a non-surgical, drug-free approach that may be a good option for kids who haven't tried other treatments.
This study tests a therapy that strengthens mouth and tongue muscles to help children with Down or Prader-Willi syndrome who have mild obstructive sleep apnea. It aims to improve breathing during sleep without surgery or machines.
This trial tests how changing the frequency of gentle electrical pulses to a tongue muscle affects its activity. It may help people with sleep apnea by strengthening the muscle that keeps the airway open during sleep.
This trial tests an oral appliance that moves your jaw forward during sleep to keep your airway open. It may help if you have mild or moderate sleep apnea and have healthy teeth.
This study compares two common treatments for moderate sleep apnea: a custom mouthpiece that gently advances your jaw, and a CPAP machine that blows air to keep your airway open. The goal is to see which treatment works better for improving sleep and daytime symptoms.
