The main objective is to evaluate an osteopathic compression of pterygopalatine node on sleep obstructive apnea syndrome (OSA).
Osteopathic compression will be compared to a placebo manoeuvre. Efficacy will be assessed by measuring pharyngeal collapsibility

pharyngeal critical pressure
The collapsibility of the upper airway will be evaluated by pharyngeal critical pressure,assessed by measuring the intraluminal pressure associated with the cessation of airflow
Time frame: 30 minutes after osteopathic compression
