Comparative efficacy of sleep positional therapy, oral appliance therapy, and CPAP in obstructive sleep apnea: a meta-analysis of mean changes in key outcomes [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is commonly treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), though many patients struggle with adherence. Sleep positional therapy (SPT) offers a potential alternative, especially for positional OSA (POSA).
