By:

Camacho, M., Certal, V., Abdullatif, J., Zaghi, S., Ruoff, C., Capasso, R., Kushida, C. A. (May 2015)

This paper provided a review of literature evaluating myofunctional therapy as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adults and to perform a meta-analysis on the polysomnographic, snoring, and sleepiness data. The searches were performed through June 18, 2014. The conclusion was that current literature demonstrates that myofunctional therapy decreases apnea-hypopnea index by approximately 50% in adults and 62% in children. Oxygen saturation, snoring, and sleepiness outcomes improve in adults. Myofunctional therapy could serve as an adjunct to other obstructive sleep apnea treatments.
