CPAP Therapy: The Gold Standard for Treating Sleep Apnea
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is currently the most effective and widely accepted treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
CPAP works by delivering a gentle, pressurized stream of air through a mask and tubing system. This airflow acts as a “pneumatic splint”, keeping the airway open by pushing aside the soft tissues that would otherwise block it during sleep.
By preventing airway collapse, CPAP therapy helps:
- Restore normal breathing patterns
- Improve sleep quality
- Reduce or eliminate symptoms such as snoring, daytime fatigue, and morning headaches
- Protect long-term cardiovascular and brain health
