Sleep Position Trainer versus Tennis Ball Technique in Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 2015 Positional therapy (PT) is an effective therapy in positional obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (POSAS) when used, but the compliance of PT is low. The objective of this study was to investigate whether a new kind of PT is effective and can improve compliance.29 patients were treated with the Sleep Position Trainer (SPT), 26 patients with the Tennis ...
