Impact of Muscle Training Device on Non-Severe OSA

Impact of Muscle Training Device on Non-Severe OSA: A Randomized Controlled Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test for the efficacy of the newly invented device #DidgeriTU with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can DidgeriTU reduce apnea events in patients with non-severe obstructive sleep apnea? Researchers will compare DidgeriTU with a sham device to see how the apnea event has changed. Participants will: * Use DidgeriTU or sham device for 3 month * Do an online questionnaire once a month during the study * Home sleep test, lung function test, and tongue strength test at the start and end of the study

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. - Age 18 years or older. - Patients voluntarily consent to provide information for research purposes. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients with an average apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of \<4 or \>29 events per hour after repeated diagnosis using a home sleep apnea test. - Patients who refused to cease using CPAP during the study process - Patients with a history of chronic lung disease. - Elderly patients with neurological conditions that impair cognitive function, such as dementia, stroke, or psychiatric disorders. - Patients taking medications that may affect muscle function within 3 months before the start of the study. - Patients with hypothyroidism or other conditions that may affect muscle function. - Patients who consume alcohol at a moderate level or higher Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
