  • Swallowing assessment in obstructive sleep apnea: insights from surface electromyography
    Gislaine Aparecida Folha, Denny Marcos Garcia, Cláudia Maria de Felício
    Sleep and Breathing, 2026
    Purpose To investigate the electromyographic activity (sEMG) of the suprahyoid/submental (SH) muscles during swallowing in adults with different OSA severities, controlled for body mass index (BMI), and to establish predictive factors for changes in muscle activity. Methods This cross-sectional observational study included 37 adults diagnosed with OSA (AHI > 5). The patients were divided into two groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): Group I (AHI = 5 ≤ 30) and Group II (AHI > 30). sEMG activity was recorded during the voluntary swallowing of 10 mL and 15 mL of thin liquid (water). The sEMG peak, integral, and maximum velocity (Vmax) were calculated. Groups were compared by general multivariate analysis of covariance, with BMI as a covariate. A general multivariate linear regression model (GRM) was applied to analyze the contribution of predictors to the EMG parameters. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results There was a predominance of males ( n = 24, 64.9%) and obese individuals (BMI > 30, n = 25, 67.6%) in the sample. Compared with Group I, Group II presented significantly lower peak, Vmax and integral values (P ≤ 0.006). The GRM revealed that the peak and integral were explained by the AHI and BMI, whereas the tongue volume and behavior during swallowing together explained the Vmax. Conclusion Activation of the suprahyoid (SH) muscles was reduced in patients with severe OSA. In addition to disease severity, BMI and the myofunctional condition of the tongue also contribute to impaired activation. Taken together, these findings indicate that muscle weakness and deficits in motor control compromise the activation of SH muscles during swallowing.

    Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2026
    Tinnitus is frequently reported in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), especially in the somatosensory subtype, which can be modulated by afferent input from orofacial and cervical structures. While the impact of orofacial dysfunctions on tinnitus has been explored, the potential reverse relationship remains understudied. Objective To investigate the association between somatosensory tinnitus and orofacial myofunctional condition in individuals with TMD. Methodology An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 47 adults aged 18 to 45 years diagnosed with TMD and self-reported tinnitus. Participants were assessed in a university-based outpatient setting. The primary outcome was the orofacial myofunctional condition, measured using the Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES) protocol. Additional variables included tinnitus intensity and frequency (via acuphenometry), tinnitus-related distress (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory – THI), cervical disability (Neck Disability Index – NDI), craniofacial pain and disability (Craniofacial Pain and Disability Inventory – CF-PDI), and psychological symptoms (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – HADS). Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression, and adopted statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results OMES scores showed negative correlations with tinnitus intensity (r=−0.353), THI, NDI, CF-PDI, and age. In the final regression model, only tinnitus intensity remained a predictor of OMES score (β =−0.356; R2=0.127, Confidence Interval −0.20 to −0.02), indicating that greater tinnitus intensity was associated with poorer orofacial myofunctional condition. Conclusion These findings suggest that somatosensory tinnitus may negatively impact orofacial motor function in patients with TMD, underscoring the need for integrated and multidisciplinary assessment approaches.
  • Vocal and Orofacial Myofunctional Characteristics of Individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
    Melissa França Lima Martins, Alan Luiz Eckeli, Fernando Gustavo Stelzer, Fabiana Cardoso Pereira Valera, Gislaine Aparecida Folha
    Sleep Science, 2025
    Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) involves recurrent upper airway obstructions during sleep, leading to fragmentation and oxygen desaturation. Vocal complaints and orofacial myofunctional changes are common, but few studies assess both aspects in diagnosed patients. To assess vocal parameters and orofacial myofunctional conditions in adults diagnosed with OSA, comparing them to a control group at low risk for OSA. Cross-sectional study. A convenience sample (N = 63) was included: 33 with OSA confirmed by polysomnography and 30 controls at low risk for OSA (STOP-BANG < 3 and no reported snoring in Stanford Snoring Scale), aged between 18–60 years. Assessments included perceptual-auditory analysis of voice quality (GRBASI scale, Vocal Symptom Scale (VSS), maximum phonation time (MPT) for vowels and s/z ratio) and orofacial myofunctional evaluation (OMES-E protocol). Participants who had received previous treatment or medical conditions affecting OSA, voice or orofacial function were excluded. OSA group showed significantly higher scores on VSS and lower scores on OMES-E protocol. They also displayed shorter MPT, worse performance in s/z ratio, reduced pneumophonoarticulatory coordination, and higher frequency of vocal alterations. The OSA group revealed mean apnea-hypopnea index of 45.80, indicates predominance of severe cases, as well as increased desaturation index. Individuals with OSA exhibit impairments in both orofacial myofunctional and vocal parameters, with negative alterations observed in MPT speech rate, pneumophonoarticulatory coordination, and s/z ratio compared with subjects with no OSA complaints. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating vocal and orofacial aspects together in OSA.
  • Diagnostic Accuracy of an Orofacial Scale for the Detection of Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
    Gislaine Aparecida Folha, Fabiana Cardoso Pereira Valera, Cláudia Maria de Felício
    Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2025
    BackgroundPatients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are known to have orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) compared to healthy individuals. Consequently, treatment with oropharyngeal exercises has shown promise in some OSA cases. However, this requires an adequate orofacial myofunctional evaluation.AimsTo develop a concise and reliable scale including the most relevant items for the orofacial myofunctional evaluation of individuals with OSA. The Expanded Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES‐E) protocol was previously validated for this purpose. However, it has been criticised for its length, time‐consuming nature and omission of certain items.Materials & MethodsFifty adults diagnosed with OSA by polysomnography and 23 healthy adults were included. Based on the literature, additional items were incorporated into the OMES‐E to enhance the evaluation (OMES‐E Plus), with subsequent reliability analysis. A scale with fewer items was derived from the OMES‐E Plus based on reliability and correlation analyses. Its accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were determined in a sample of 19 subjects with OSA and 19 without OSA (Control), matched for age and sex. Statistical analyses included Cronbach's alpha, item‐total correlations and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsThe resulting new instrument, named the Orofacial Scale for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OFSOSA), comprises 31 items. The OFSOSA demonstrated significant discriminatory ability, with an area under the curve of 0.987, sensitivity of 95.5% and specificity of 93.7%.ConclusionThe OFSOSA, a concise instrument for myofunctional orofacial evaluation, was developed and validated, showing excellent psychometric properties for diagnosing OMDs in OSA patients.
  • Letter to the Editor on Assessment of Muscular Weakness in Severe Sleep Apnea Patient

    Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery United States, 2025
    We have read with interest the article titled “Assessment of muscular weakness in severe sleep apnea patient: A prospective study” by O'Connor-Reina et al.1 The authors reported significant differences between patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and a healthy group in terms of tongue strength/force and the score of the orofacial myofunctional evaluation. These variables also were significant risk factors for severe OSAHS in multivariate logistic regression. Therefore, the study contributes to drawing attention to the importance of orofacial myofunctional assessment in cases of OSA. However, the results presented, especially the average for the groups, led us to think that the Expanded Protocol of Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation With Scores (OMES-E)2 was used for the evaluation instead of the quoted OMES protocol.3 Additionally, the OMES-E protocol has been previously validated for patients with OSA,2 but not the OMES.3 Although, nothing prevents authors from using it. Therefore, as authors of both protocols of orofacial myofunctional evaluation, we would like to know which one was actually used in the aforementioned studies. It would be interesting if the authors clarified whether any modifications were made to the protocol, excluding the complementary measures using the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument and Tongue Digital Spoon. We justify that there is no reference in the paper in question, nor were we able to locate any publications about it.

    BACKGROUND: English is the lingua franca of science; it is the language of the two last world superpowers and the language of four out of the world's ten greatest producers of science; it is a fairly simple language and the most hybridized language in history, with Latin and French contributing 60% of the entire English lexicon. The object of this study is to determine whether the frequency of use of imported words is a function of literary genre. METHOD: Texts were randomly selected from (a) medical scientific original articles, (b) newspaper financial reports, (c) sport reportages, (d) literary texts and (e) colloquial English; for comparison a collection of similarly distributed texts were selected from Portuguese; the frequency of occurrence of Latin or Neo-Latin words was determined in the English texts as well as the occurrence of non-Latin or non-Neo-Latin words in the Portuguese texts; a oneway analysis of variance was used to determine whether significant differences occurred between genres in the two languages. RESULTS: The frequency of occurrence of Latin/French words in English text was significantly dependent on the literary genre, being maximal in medical scientific texts and minimal in colloquial English; in contrast, the frequency of occurrence of non-Latin words in Portuguese was constant throughout the same literary genres. CONCLUSION: The use of Latin/French words in English is directly proportional to the complexity of the literary genre, a phenomenon not observed in Portuguese, a typical Neo-Latin language.

    There is no standardized protocol for the clinical evaluation of orofacial components and functions in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim of this study was to examine the validity, reliability, and psychometric properties of the Expanded Protocol of Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES-expanded) in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea and control subjects were evaluated, and the validity of OMES-expanded was tested by construct validity (i.e. the ability to discriminate orofacial status between apneic and control subjects) and criterion validity (i.e. correlation between OMES-expanded and a reference instrument). Construct validity was adequate; the apneic group showed significantly worse orofacial status than did control subjects. Criterion validity of OMES-expanded was good, as was its reliability. The OMES-expanded is valid and reliable for evaluating orofacial myofunctional disorders of patients with obstructive sleep apnea, with adequate psychometric properties. It may be useful to plan a therapeutic strategy and to determine whether the effects of therapy are related to improved muscle and orofacial functions.
