| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to examine how the shape of the pharynx and tongue changes with myofungtional therapy in OSA patients. As a result, muscle function therapy starts to reduce snoring two months after it starts. Although there was no change in body weight, the line of the lower jaw edge of the face was sharpened by tongue movement, and three months later, lingual bone elevation was observed on CT, and the airway volume was increased. Although the reduction in AHI varies among patients, improvement in AHI is seen after 6 months. After six months, AHI continued to decline without returning. The patient's symptoms have also been alleviated, MFT is inexpensive, and patient compliance can be a useful treatment. This treatment is considered to be a fundamental treatment by promoting continuation of the training of patients even if they have OA or CPAP.
