Sleep Apnea Testing

Sleep Apnea Treatment Options

Sleep apnea is highly treatable, and there's rarely a one-size-fits-all answer. Here's an overview of the main options, always guided by your physician.

PAP therapy (CPAP/APAP)

Positive airway pressure therapy is the most common and effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A small device delivers gentle air pressure that keeps your airway open during sleep.

Weight management

Because excess weight is a common contributor to obstructive sleep apnea, physician-guided weight management can meaningfully improve symptoms for many people. Learn more about weight management and sleep.

Other approaches

  • Positional strategies for position-dependent sleep apnea
  • Oral appliances in appropriate cases
  • Addressing nasal congestion and related factors
