    Recently, some researchers have determined the relationship between changes in orofacial muscle function and nasal patency.

    Researchers conducted an observational study on 43 children and adolescents with asthma and/or rhinitis between the ages of 5 and 14 from May 2017 to September 2019.

    The patient underwent peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) for nasal patency assessment and orofacial muscle function assessment.

    Clinical data is obtained through interviews with patients on the day of medical evaluation.

    The results of the study showed that improper positioning of the mandible (OR=11.
    22; 95%CI 1.
    83-69; P=0.
    009) and facial muscle tension when swallowing fluids (OR=4.
    61; 95%CI 1.
    31-16.
    20; P=0.
    017) and Asthma is associated with changes in PNIF in children and adolescents with rhinitis.

    Finally, the researchers pointed out that children and adolescents with asthma and rhinitis have reduced nasal patency, but also changes in orofacial muscle function, such as insufficient positioning of the mandible and facial muscle tension when swallowing fluid.
