Assessment of OSA in Latin American and Response to Neuromod Therapy
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects the airways of people from Latin America who have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will test a new neuromodulation therapy, which uses nerve stimulation to help treat sleep apnea and improve breathing during sleep.
Key Objective: This trial is testing whether neuromodulation therapy can reduce sleep apnea symptoms and improve breathing in Latin American patients with moderate to severe OSA.
Who to Consider: People from Latin American backgrounds with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who are interested in trying a new nerve-stimulation based treatment should consider enrolling.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to characterize the upper airway of Latin American subjects who have been diagnosed with moderate/severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and assess response to a neuromodulation therapy to treat OSA.
