Abstract

Background

Individuals who suffer from simple snoring rarely go to a doctor due to a lack of medical knowledge, but simple snoring can reduce the individual's quality of life and may cause social problems to the bed partner/family members.

Objectives

The aims of the present study are to explore the effects of online modified oropharyngeal exercises on the individuals with simple snoring and to provide a rehabilitation method for individuals with simple snoring.

Methods

This study is a double-blinded, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. Participants were enrolled and randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 33) or the control group (n = 33). The participants in the control group received health education on snoring, while the participants in the intervention group received the modified oropharyngeal exercise besides health education on snoring. The intervention duration was 4 weeks. The primary outcomes included snoring index, snoring loudness, and snoring quantity. The secondary outcomes included self-reported snoring, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and quality of life. All outcomes were measured at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.

Results

Generalized estimating equations (GEE) analyses showed significant differences between the intervention group and the control group on snoring index, loudness, and quantity (p < .001). Moreover, modified oropharyngeal exercise had effects on sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and quality of life in individuals with simple snoring (p < .001). Self-reported snoring also improved at 8 weeks.

Conclusion

The modified oropharyngeal exercises were effective in improving simple snoring. It could also improve sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and quality of life.

改良口咽运动对单纯性打鼾患者的影响：在线随机对照试验。

背景：由于缺乏医学知识，患有单纯性打鼾的患者很少就医，但单纯性打鼾会降低患者的生活质量，并可能给床伴/家庭成员带来社会问题：本研究旨在探讨在线改良口咽练习对单纯性打鼾患者的影响，并为单纯性打鼾患者提供一种康复方法：本研究是一项双盲、双臂、随机对照试验。参与者被随机分配到干预组（33 人）或对照组（33 人）。对照组的参与者接受有关打鼾的健康教育，而干预组的参与者除了接受有关打鼾的健康教育外，还接受改良的口咽运动。干预时间为 4 周。主要结果包括打鼾指数、打鼾响度和打鼾量。次要结果包括自我报告的打鼾情况、睡眠质量、白天嗜睡情况、焦虑症状、抑郁症状和生活质量。所有结果均在基线、4周和8周时进行测量：结果：广义估计方程（GEE）分析表明，干预组与对照组在打鼾指数、响度和数量上存在显著差异（P改良口咽运动对改善单纯性打鼾有效。它还能改善睡眠质量、白天嗜睡、焦虑症状、抑郁症状和生活质量。

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
