Telemedicine-delivered myofunctional therapy remodels upper airway anatomy in obstructive sleep apnea: a prospective controlled study

This study provides evidence that MT can induce measurable airway remodeling, especially in moderate OSA. Submental ultrasound proved useful for monitoring these changes, supporting the use of telemedicine MT as a scalable, patient-centered approach to individualized OSA management.

Abstract

This study provides evidence that MT can induce measurable airway remodeling, especially in moderate OSA. Submental ultrasound proved useful for monitoring these changes, supporting the use of telemedicine MT as a scalable, patient-centered approach to individualized OSA management.
