Abstract

The mainstay treatment for sleep-disordered breathing is positive airway pressure therapy. There is robust evidence to suggest PAP therapy improves cardiovascular, metabolic, psychiatric, and mental health outcomes. In addition, patients enjoy significant symptomatic benefit as well as improvement in neuropsychomotor function. Unfortunately, many patients also experience side effects, and as a result PAP tolerability and adherence are low. As a result, research is ongoing to determine means of improving PAP adherence, as well as to develop effective alternatives.
