Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study is being done to determine if the nasopharyngeal airway obstructive sleep apnea (NPA-OSA) device can be used in the treatment of OSA in adults. The researchers think that the NPA-OSA device will reduce the number of apneas.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Nasopharyngeal airway device

A nasopharyngeal airway obstructive sleep apnea ("NPA"-OSA) device will be used for one night in a sleep laboratory and 30 days at home.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

nasopharyngeal airway obstructive sleep apnea (NPA-OSA) device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The NPA-OSA is a flexible, medical-grade silicone, tube-like device that is self-inserted into the user's nasopharyngeal airway through one nostril prior to sleep and worn throughout the night to reduce or alleviate snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
