Mouth and tongue exercises with CPAP for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining CPAP with special mouth and tongue exercises can improve sleep apnea better than CPAP alone. It is for people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who have not tried CPAP before.
