Experimental: Negative airway pressure delivery
Negative airway pressure delivery (breathing against a vaccuum) in order to improve the tone of the upper airway muscles and make them less susceptible to collapse during sleep.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Delta of Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) as Measured by Polysomnography (PSG)
Time Frame: three months
|
The pre-study AHI (before the NAP treatment was applied) was measured and quantified and compared to the post study AHI (after three months of NAP treatment) and the difference between pre and post therapy is reported.
The AHI is an hourly rate of breathing disturbance (apneas and hypopneas per hour) that is calculated while subjects are evaluated during an overnight sleep study, with polysomnography applied (PSG).
For example, while a subject is spending the night in the PSG laboratory sleeping, his/her breathing is evaluated for evidence of apneas and hypopneas during various stages of sleep.
Sleep is measured with electroencephalography.
And breathing is measure with respiratory excursions via chest/abdominal plethysmography recordings and airflow from the nose/mouth.
