What is the most common treatment option for sleep apnea?

Sleep apnea is most commonly and effectively treated by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.

CPAP therapy uses a machine to help a person who has obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) breathe more easily during sleep. A CPAP machine increases air pressure in your throat so that your airway does not collapse when you breathe in. When you use CPAP, your bed partner may sleep better, too.

You use CPAP at home every night while you sleep.
