Often polysomnography demonstrates only mild sleep apnea, and the clinician and patient are faced with the dilemma of whether to use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or an oral appliance. In making this important decision the clinician incorporates the commonly used definition of ...
“The management of patients with obstructive sleep apnea is likely to evolve from the generalized approach of CPAP use or not, to a more personalized approach based onclinical and pathophysiological phenotype, which is especially likely to apply in mild obstructive sleep apnea,” he ...
Conclusions: CPAP elicits small improvements in subjective sleepiness and objective wakefulness in people with mild to moderate OSAS. However, the effects on sleepiness are of limited clinical significance.N S MarshallSleep/Wake Research CentreM Barnes...
26 A growing body of evidence suggests treatment of sleep apnea with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can reduce sleep apnea-related cognitive decline.193-195 More information is available in Life Extension’s Sleep Apnea protocol. Essential Oils/Odorants The olfactory system is ...
Mandibular advancement appliances (MAA) are a recognized alternative treatment to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of and subject satisfaction with two MAA in the management of OSAS...

This finding is particularly interesting because apnea is a reversible condition. Numerous studies have investigated whether treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with cognitive impairment, many of which have concluded that CPAP does have ...
Potential participants were excluded if they reported use of a pressure mask (continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] or bilevel positive airway pressure) or mouthpiece for snoring or sleep apnea during the past 3 months. In addition, participants were excluded if they had an open tracheostomy ...
Residual Daytime Sleepiness in Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Optimization: Causes and Management 2016, Sleep Medicine Clinics Citation Excerpt : Mood disorders can coexist with OSA or occur years after commencing CPAP, explaining why previously effective CPAP is no longer...
We will exclude individuals who are (1) diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea; (2) receiving continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) treatment; (3) at high risk for cardiac complications during PA or unable to self-regulate activity or to understand recommended PA level; and (4) have clinical...
