NPA-OSA Device Tolerability, Usability and Acclimation Clinical Study in Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Resistant Adult OSA Patients
University of Michigan
Summary
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.

Interventions
- Devicenasopharyngeal airway obstructive sleep apnea (NPA-OSA) 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.
