Acoustic Resonance Therapy: A Promising Approach to Improve CPAP Adherence

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy stands as the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, a significant number of patients struggle to tolerate CPAP, often citing nasal congestion as a major hindrance to adherence. In an effort to address this issue, researchers conducted a study to investigate the potential benefits of Acoustic Resonance Therapy (ART) for patients facing challenges with CPAP adherence and experiencing nasal symptoms. The Study…

0486 The Effect of Acoustic Resonance Therapy on CPAP Adherence

CPAP is the gold standard therapy for OSA. Unfortunately, a significant percentage of patients do not tolerate CPAP therapy. Of those who struggle, a significant portion state that nasal congestion is a limiting factor. Acoustic Resonance Therapy (ART) is a new non-medication based treatment for nasal congestion. We sought to determine if patients struggling with Medicare CPAP adherence and reporting nasal symptoms would benefit by the addition of ART.
