A clinical trial funded by the National Institute on Aging to test inspiratory muscle strength training as a method to lower blood pressure and improve vascular health in older adults with sleep apnea.
Description
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) in older adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to improve blood pressure and vascular function. The study measures effects on systolic blood pressure, arterial stiffness, endothelial function, oxidative stress, and inflammation over a 24-week period.
