    Abstract

    Sleep apnoea is common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, it is frequently undiagnosed and untreated as people with MS often do not fit the “typical” obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) profile (i.e. non-obese and female predominance). Accordingly, the causes of OSA may differ in people with MS such that non-anatomical factors (e.g. impaired upper airway muscle function) might play an important role. The aim of this study was to determine if genioglossus reflex responses to brief pulses of negative pharyngeal pressure differ in people with sleep apnoea with versus without MS.
