About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Obstructive Sleep Apnea focused on measuring OSA

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic patients confirmed of OSA by sleep study (PSG according to AASM criteria or validated level 3 portable monitoring devices with AHI > 10/hr)
  • Not using CPAP for any reasons or patients on dental device but would like to try alternative treatments for OSA.
  • Able to sign informed consent and use the PEEP nasal valve.
  • Age between 18-65 years old.
  • Willing to attend follow up.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known nasal problems like deformities or significant rhinitis affecting application of PEEP nasal valve.
  • Unable to sign consent or use PEEP nasal valve.
  • Significant or unstable co-morbidities requiring other forms of treatment for OSA as priority.
  • Coexisting sleep disordered breathing condition other than OSA requiring more complex treatment. E.g. central sleep apnea, significant Cheyne Stokes respiration or hypoventilation syndrome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Determine the clinical efficacy in terms of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), nocturnal oxygenation of a nasal Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) valve "Provent" in obstructive sleep apnea. The hypothesis is the efficacy will be better than dental device.
