Studies on Efficacy
We have conducted two of our own studies that prove the effectiveness of the Silent Sleep Training. Additionally, numerous other studies confirm that targeted throat muscle training is a successful method for treating sleep apnea and snoring.
Our Own Studies
External Studies
Obstructive sleep apnea: focus on myofunctional therapy
A study showed that special exercises for the mouth and airways are effective for adults and children with sleep apnea. They reduce respiratory cessations, snoring, and improve quality of life.
Guimarães et al Citation RCT Brazil
A study showed that exercises for the pharyngeal area in people with moderate sleep apnea (OSAS) can significantly improve snoring, daytime sleepiness, and sleep quality.
Baz et alCitation PCS Egypt
A study found that special exercises for the pharyngeal muscles in mild to moderate sleep apnea (OSAS) can significantly improve symptoms and sleep.
Diaféria al Citation RCT Brazil
A study showed that speech therapy, alone or in combination with a respiratory mask (CPAP), can improve the quality of life for patients with sleep apnea (OSA).
Suzuki et al Citation51 PCS Japan
A pilot study found that special exercises to strengthen the pharyngeal muscles can improve breathing during sleep by lowering the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and increasing blood oxygen levels.
Matsumura et al Citation PCS Brazil
A study showed that speech therapy in patients with sleep apnea and/or snoring can improve sleep quality, quality of life, and snoring intensity, while daytime sleepiness was significantly reduced.
Ieto et al Citation RCT Brazil
A study showed that special exercises for the pharyngeal area can effectively reduce snoring in patients with mild to moderate snoring or sleep apnea and could serve as a possible treatment option for many affected individuals.
Villa et al Citation PR Italy
A study showed that exercises for the pharyngeal area in children after an adenotonsillectomy can improve the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and should be considered as an adjunctive therapy.
Verma et al Citation PCS India
A study showed that graded exercises for the pharyngeal area can significantly improve the symptoms and severity of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS) by positively influencing neck circumference, daytime sleepiness, snoring intensity, and sleep quality.
Diaféria et al Citation RCT Brazil
A study showed that speech therapy, both alone and in combination with a respiratory mask (CPAP), can improve the quality of life for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly in the areas of physical health and functional performance.
Villa et al Citation PC-C Italy
A study showed that special exercises for the tongue and mouth in children with breathing problems during sleep can reduce mouth breathing, strengthen tongue force, and improve blood oxygen levels, thereby significantly reducing sleep problems.
Mohamed et al Citation PCS Egypt
A study showed that special exercises for the airways can be an effective, non-invasive method for improving snoring, oxygen saturation, and respiratory cessations in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS), especially in moderate cases.
