SLEEP APNEA PREGNANCY Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Diaphragmatic Release in Sleep Quality During Pregnancy, Randomized Controlled Trail
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 ;
