Aim- To find out the effect of oropharyngeal exercise and respiratory muscle strengthening in obese patient with obstructive sleep apnea. Relevance of study - Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a significant public health problem It is necessary to treat OSA so that obese patient should not always go for noninvasive CPAP ventilation or surgical need as it becomes severe there is need for surgery. Methodology- In this experimental study 34 obese (BMI >30) subjects with mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea (AHI>5) were selected according to inclusion & exclusion criteria. pre and post OSA analysis was done using Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Scale of subjective snoring (Stanford), neck circumference. The oropharyngeal exercises & respiratory muscle strengthening exercises was given to patients for 6 weeks, 5 days per week. Result- On intra group using paired t test the pre intervention mean of neck circumference was 34.946+3.173. Obtained p value after the intervention is <0.0001 with post mean 34.263+3.022 which implies that there is significant difference between pre post comparison for Stanford scale was 6.257+0.980. Obtained p value after the intervention is <0.0001 with post mean 4.714+ 0.957 which implies the significant difference between pre-post comparison and for ESS was11.941+1.071. Obtained p value after the intervention is <0.0001 with post mean 10.000+ 0.816 which implies the significant difference between pre post comparison. Conclusion - Oropharyngeal exercises and respiratory strengthening exercises are effective in obese patients with mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
