Complementary Exercise-Based Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sponsor: bioROne
Summary
This randomized interventional study evaluates a complementary exercise-based therapy in adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. A total of 24 participants are assigned to either a complementary rehabilitation program in addition to usual care or to usual care alone. The rehabilitation program is performed for 90 days and includes two approximately 45-minute sessions per day, combining physical exercise, breathing exercises, and cervical-postural rehabilitation. The study evaluates changes in the apnea-hypopnea index, nocturnal oxygen saturation, sleep fragmentation, daytime sleepiness, quality of life, psychological symptoms, cardiovascular and respiratory parameters, body mass index, and cervical spine alignment.
