ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine the effects of a mandibular advancement appliance (MAA) on sequences of jaw-closing muscle activity (JCMA) and apneic or hypopneic event (AHE) in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).METHODS:
Individuals with OSA were included in a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled crossover trial, in which two ambulatory polysomnographic recordings were performed one with MAA in situ and the other without MAA. A time span of 16 s between JCMA and AHE was applied to classify JCMAs into four sequences (1) JCMA occurs before AHE (B-type); (2) both events occur simultaneously (S-type); (3) JCMA occurs after AHE (A-type); and (4) JCMA is time-unrelated to AHE (U-type). The effects of MAA on the distribution of these sequences were analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.RESULTS:
Among 16 individuals (10 men, mean age 51.3 ± 8.5 years) baseline apnea-hypopnea index and JCMA index were 23.8 ± 16.0 events/h and 10.8 ± 10.3 events/h, respectively. In both conditions, i.e., without and with MAA, most JCMAs were U-type (48% and 65%, respectively), followed by A-type (41% and 22%), B-type (25% and 21%), and S-type (2% and 1%). With MAA in situ, only the A-type JCMA index decreased significantly (P = 0.005), while B-type, S-type, and U-type JCMA indices did not change significantly (all P > 0.05).CONCLUSION:
MAA therapy only significantly reduces the jaw-closing muscle activities that occur after apneic or hypopneic events in individuals with OSA. TRIAL REGISTRATION www. CLINICALTRIALS gov (NCT02011425); December 13, 2013.Palabras clave
