This study is testing a new type of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy called TheraPAP, also known as KPAP, for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). KPAP works by lowering the air pressure during breathing in and part of breathing out, which may make it more comfortable than standard CPAP. Researchers want to see if people use KPAP more often than standard APAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure) therapy. To join, you should be between 20 and 80 years old and have moderate to severe sleep apnea. The study will measure how much you use each device over 4-week periods to see which one you use more consistently.

Study design

This is a randomized crossover study with 30 participants. You will try both KPAP and APAP therapies for 4 weeks each.

What's involved

You will have three office visits and use a device at home nightly for two separate 4-week periods, with a 1-week break in between.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The study measures usage over 4-week periods for each therapy arm, but no follow-up beyond the second 4-week period is specified.
