Journal ArticleDOI
Myofunctional Therapy to Treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Macario Camacho,Victor Certal,Jose Abdullatif,Soroush Zaghi,Chad Ruoff,Robson Capasso,Clete A. Kushida +6 more
TL;DR: Current literature demonstrates that myofunctional therapy decreases apnea-hypopnea index by approximately 50% in adults and 62% in children and could serve as an adjunct to other obstructive sleep apnea treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maxillomandibular Advancement for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Meta-analysis
Soroush Zaghi,Jon-Erik C Holty,Victor Certal,Jose Abdullatif,Christian Guilleminault,Nelson B. Powell,Robert W. Riley,Macario Camacho,Macario Camacho +8 more
TL;DR: Most patients with high residual AHI and RDI after other unsuccessful surgical procedures for OSA are likely to benefit from MMA, and many of them will benefit again after treatment with MMA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid maxillary expansion for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Macario Camacho,Macario Camacho,Edward T. Chang,Sungjin A. Song,Jose Abdullatif,Soroush Zaghi,Paola Pirelli,Victor Certal,Christian Guilleminault +8 more
TL;DR: To perform a systematic review with meta‐analysis for sleep study outcomes in children who have undergone rapid maxillary expansion (RME) as treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of nasal surgery on continuous positive airway pressure device use and therapeutic treatment pressures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Macario Camacho,Muhammad Riaz,Robson Capasso,Chad Ruoff,Christian Guilleminault,Clete A. Kushida,Victor Certal +6 more
TL;DR: Isolated nasal surgery in patients with OSA and nasal obstruction reduces therapeutic CPAP device pressures and the currently published literature's objective and subjective data consistently suggest that it also increases CPAP use in select patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Victor Certal,Soroush Zaghi,Muhammad Riaz,António Sousa Vieira,Carlos Torrão Pinheiro,Clete A. Kushida,Robson Capasso,Macario Camacho +7 more
TL;DR: The evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of hypoglossal nerve stimulation as an alternative therapy in the treatment of OSA is reviewed.
