Kejal Dilip Porwal | Dr. Ancy Vincent | Dr. Medha Deo

Abstract: This study investigates the efficacy of oropharyngeal exercises in mitigating snoring intensity, frequency, daytime sleepiness scale, and sleep quality scale. Sixty participants were divided into two groups, one incorporating oropharyngeal exercises alongside lifestyle adjustments, while the other solely focused on lifestyle modifications. Significant enhancements were observed in daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, and snoring frequency and intensity for the Experimental Group only. Neck Circumference showed no improvement in either of the two groups. These findings underscore the effectiveness of oropharyngeal exercises and lifestyle modifications in ameliorating snoring and associated issues.
