An interventional study of diaphragmatic release in SLEEP APNEA PREGNANCY, sponsored by MTI University. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 30 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-23.
Sponsored by MTI University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is very common during pregnancy, and is most likely explained by hormonal, physiological and physical changes. Maternal obesity, one of the major risk factors for SDB, together with physiological changes in pregnancy may predispose women to develop SDB. SDB has been associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. Thus, early identification, diagnosis and treatment of SDB are important in pregnancy.
The present study will be conducted to add a new information to the body of knowledge of physical therapy profession as it will provide scientific basis for the clinical application of diaphragmatic release in sleep disordered breathing during pregnancy

pittshurgh sleep quality index
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over a 1-month time interval. The measure consists of 19 individual items, creating 7 components that produce one global score, and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh,
Time frame: 1 month
diaphragmatic excursion assessment
diaphragmatic excursion assessment is that measures the movement of the thoracic diaphragm during breathing. Normal diaphragmatic excursion should be 3-5 cm, but can be increased in well-conditioned persons to 7-8 cm2.
Time frame: 1 month
