The trial is looking for adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. It compares swallowing and mouth function in people who choose surgery with those who choose other care or no treatment.

Mit akar kideríteni a vizsgálat

Dysphagia is a commonly reported complaint among patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly those who have undergone upper-airway (oropharyngeal) surgery. However, how surgical treatment for OSA affects swallowing function and oral function (oral frailty) remains unclear.

A vizsgálat 2 csoportja

• Non-surgical group

  Adults with moderate-to-severe OSA who choose non-surgical treatment (e.g., CPAP) or no treatment as part of routine care. Treatment is not assigned by the study.

  Kezelés: Non-surgical management

• Surgery group

  Adults with moderate-to-severe OSA who elect upper-airway surgery as part of routine care (e.g., radiofrequency reduction of the palate or tongue base, tonsillectomy, UPPP, LAUP, TORS). Treatment is not assigned by the study.

  Kezelés: Upper airway surgery for OSA
