Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)

Revolutionizing the Treatment of Sleep Apnea

Neumomed's Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) offers an innovative and non-invasive approach to treating sleep apnea. Our solution goes beyond traditional treatments like CPAP by addressing the underlying causes of sleep apnea, improving patient adherence, and significantly reducing healthcare costs. With OMT, your organization can offer a cutting-edge therapy that enhances patient outcomes and reduces long-term intervention costs.

What is Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)?

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a non-invasive therapy that focuses on retraining the muscles involved in breathing, such as the face, tongue, and airway muscles, to improve their function.

How OMT Supports CPAP Therapy:

Complement to CPAP: OMT is typically used to complement CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, helping patients adapt more easily to the treatment.
Muscle Strengthening: By strengthening the muscles involved in breathing, OMT helps reduce the pressure required by CPAP machines, making them more comfortable for patients to use.
Improved Tolerance: Many patients struggle to tolerate CPAP due to discomfort. With OMT, the improved muscle function allows for better adaptation and adherence to CPAP therapy.
Enhanced Effectiveness: In some cases, OMT reduces the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), enabling lower CPAP pressure settings to be effective. However, OMT is generally not a replacement for CPAP but works alongside it to optimize treatment outcomes.

Additional Benefits of OMT:

Severe OSA Cases: For patients with severe OSA, OMT can improve the function of the orofacial muscles, making CPAP more effective when used in conjunction with the therapy.
Improved Quality of Life: OMT contributes to a better quality of life by enhancing breathing efficiency, reducing symptoms, and offering long-term health benefits.

Comprehensive Initial Assessment

Detailed evaluation of each patient's orofacial muscle function to tailor a personalized OMT plan.

Customized Therapy Plan

Our specialists design a series of exercises to improve breathing, chewing, and swallowing functions.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments

Regular check-ins through the Neumomed platform allow healthcare providers to track progress, making adjustments as needed to maximize treatment effectiveness.

Patient Education and Support

Through our platform, patients receive ongoing support, including educational resources and reminders to complete their exercises, boosting engagement and adherence.

Enhanced CPAP Adherence

OMT helps patients adapt more easily to CPAP therapy by improving respiratory muscle function, making the treatment more comfortable and reducing the need for high-pressure settings.

Reduced Hospitalizations and Urgent Care Visits

With better adherence to therapy, patients experience fewer exacerbations and emergency interventions, directly lowering operational costs for healthcare providers.

Cost Savings

A 40% reduction in costs has been observed for high-adherence alternative therapies like OMT, which is less expensive and more effective in supporting CPAP treatment.

Improved Resource Allocation

By enabling more efficient patient management, OMT allows healthcare systems to serve larger populations with fewer resources, optimizing both cost and quality of care.

Better Tolerance of CPAP

OMT strengthens orofacial muscles, helping patients better tolerate CPAP therapy. This makes CPAP more effective and comfortable by lowering the required pressure settings for patients.

Enhanced Treatment Effectiveness

For patients with severe sleep apnea, who may not benefit as much from CPAP alone, OMT can enhance CPAP’s impact, ensuring a more effective overall treatment.

Long-Term Benefits

In some cases, OMT may even reduce a patient's dependence on CPAP by improving their natural respiratory function over time.

High Patient Adherence

OMT, combined with CPAP, has shown high adherence rates, resulting in better long-term patient outcomes and satisfaction. This increased adherence also leads to significant cost savings for healthcare providers and insurers.
