RESEARCH INTERESTS
Current research
Recent studies using oropharyngeal exercise training have been shown improve obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), however the precise mechanisms of this are unknown. My current research is looking at whether speech pathology led oropharyngeal muscle training improves upper airway collapsibility and/or changes in tongue muscle strength and endurance leading to improvement in OSA severity.
Jayne is also involved with clinical trials and efficacy studies looking at the potential role of noradrenergic/antimuscarinic agents in treating OSA at Flinders University.
Other research interests include the neural control of upper airway muscles, Insomnia and OSA in women's health and adolescence. She is also interested in optimising treatment outcomes and pathways for sleep disorders.
