What if you can't tolerate CPAP?
The most common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is CPAP therapy. CPAP uses positive airway pressure (delivered from an airflow generator that is connected to a nasal or face mask) to keep the upper airway open during sleep. Some patients find CPAP difficult to tolerate, and it is estimated that as many as 50% of CPAP users fail to use their CPAP on a regular basis.1
