TheraPAP Adherence Crossover Study

TheraPAP is a novel therapy approach being developed by SleepRes, LLC. for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This algorithm has been integrated into the Sefam S.Box CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device and both standard CPAP/APAP (auto-titrated PAP) as well as TheraPAP can be delivered. TheraPAP is a pressure control algorithm that lowers the pressure from the set pressure at the beginning of inspiration and does not return the pressure to the full set level until some point in late expiration. In this randomized crossover study, the comparative adherence to therapy between TheraPAP and APAP will be compared. Each therapy will be used by the patient for six-week periods with randomly assigned order, and the usage during each arm will be compared.
