Background

 

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a very common, chronic respiratory sleep disorder presented as frequent disruptions and/or pauses to breathing during sleep. Typical symptoms of OSA include daytime sleepiness, tiredness and fatigue, snoring, morning headaches, witnessed apnoeas, disrupted and non-restorative sleep, which may negatively affect quality of life.

This study seeks to investigate the potential benefit of a potential therapy for OSA  with the hopes of finding an alternative treatment treatment that more people with OSA can easily use to help them breath normally during sleep, prevent snoring and wake up refreshed.

This  study seeks adults aged 18 years old and above who have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea . Participants are required to attend 7 visits at the research site over approximately 6 weeks (or more) and may be compensated. Participating  in this study will help us understand how this new OSA potential therapy can potentially manage sleep apnoea symptoms and prevent further complications.
