Abstract

Purpose Different forms of training focusing on the muscles of the upper airways showed limited effects on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or snoring. We investigated the effect of generalized respiratory muscle training (RMT) in lean patients with mild to moderate OSA. Methods Nine male subjects (52.0 +/- 10.8 years, BMI 29.1 +/- 2.1 kg/m(2)) with obstructive sleep apnea (apneahypopnea index (AHI) 9-29) participated in an open, singlearm pilot study. After a 1-week build-up phase, patients underwent 4 weeks of normocapnic hyperpnea RMT five times a week for 30 min each. The initial and final measurements comprised polysomnography, pulmonary function tests, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and SF-36 questionnaire (quality of life (QoL) self-assessment). The investigational site was a university-affiliated hospital for pulmonary diseases and sleep medicine, Solingen/Germany. Results Patients trained effectively, seen by a significant (p < 0.01) increase of breathing frequency (23.3 +/- 1.5/min vs. 30.6 +/- 2.9 / min) and minute volume (81.2 +/- 13.7 L vs. 109.1 +/- 21.9 L). AHI, snoring and ESS remained unchanged after training. QoL as measured by SF-36 significantly (p < 0.05) improved after the training in the subscales Bbodily pain'' (79 +/- 21 vs. 90 +/- 12) and Bchange of health'' (3.1 +/- 0.3 vs. 2.4 +/- 0.5). Conclusions There is no evidence that AHI, pulmonary function or daytime sleepiness are affected by 5 weeks of RMT. Nevertheless, there is an improvement of parameters of quality of life.
