Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent medical condition affecting 1% to 5% of non-syndromic children and 30% to 90% of children with Down syndrome. Given the severity of the condition and associated health risks, early and effective treatment is crucial. However, current treatment modalities are often invasive or show poor patient adherence. This article presents a protocol to evaluate the efficacy of orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) as a treatment for OSA in two pediatric populations.
