Throat therapy for sleep apnea without CPAP
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
