U.S., July 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07737015) titled 'Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training on Tongue Corticomotor Excitability' on July 25.
Brief Summary: The tongue plays a central role in essential oral functions, including swallowing, speech, and upper airway control. Its coordinated interaction with the respiratory system is particularly relevant in clinical conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea and dysphagia. While respiratory muscle training is increasingly used in these contexts, its effects on the neural control of tongue function remain poorly understood.
This randomized cross-over pilot study aimed to investigate the acute effects of inspiratory (IMT) and expiratory (...
