ABSTRACT
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a relatively common condition which is most often treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Given the compliance issues associated with CPAP, it is important for neurologists (and anyone who treats OSA) to be aware of what other treatment devices exist for this disease. This article reviews mandibular advancement devices, nasal expiratory airway pressure devices, hypoglossal nerve stimulators, and oral pressure therapy devices in terms of their mechanism of action, efficacy, and practicality.
