Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pharyngeal critical pressure

    The collapsibility of the upper airway will be evaluated by pharyngeal critical pressure,assessed by measuring the intraluminal pressure associated with the cessation of airflow

    30 minutes after osteopathic compression

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • pharyngeal critical pressure

    48 hours

  • symptoms

    48 hours

  • adverse events

    48 hours
