Brief Summary:
Comparison of the NightBalance Sleep Position Trainer (SPT) to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) for the Treatment of Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea (POSA). Primary Objective: Efficacy and Adherence of the SPT over 3 months of use compared to PAP for the treatment of POSA. The study is run from centers in France, the UK and Germany.
Detailed Description:
Participants are randomly allocated to receive one of two treatments, either Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP) or NightBalance Sleep Position Therapy for a three month period. Participants are sent home with instructions to use that device nightly at home for three months. After three months of using the first device, they return to the doctor for assessment of the efficacy of the device using a sleep test and the compliance read from the device. Upon conclusion of the first three month treatment period, patients receive the alternative treatment for a further three months. At the end of the second three month period, participants return to their doctor again to assess the efficacy of the last device and read the compliance. Before any treatment and after each treatment, patients undergo a sleep test and complete some questionnaires. During each treatment period, patients complete a healthcare utilization diary and report any problems.
