Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of upper airway muscle physical therapy utilizing negative airway pressure (NAP) breathing training in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) in reducing both signs (apnea hypopnea index) and symptoms (i.e., daytime sleepiness).The key to the proposed therapy is the use of Negative Air Pressure when awake so that the increased reflex phasic drive to the muscles will result in muscle conditioning. Interestingly, other studies have indicated that upper airway muscle training may be useful in treating OSAS, but these studies used techniques that were not scientifically designed{Puhan, 2006 8195 /id} or used a technique (electrical stimulation) that was not well tolerated.{Lequeux, 2005 7514 /id}
