Need an Alternative to The CPAP Mask?

CPAP therapy, or continuous positive airway pressure, is one of the leading therapies for patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). With CPAP, patients breathe in pressurized air through a face mask that is attached to a hose and bedside pump.

Common Complaints About CPAP

Experiencing mild discomfort when you first start using the CPAP machine is normal, but the effectiveness of this therapy has made it the first choice and most widely used among doctors who treat sleep apnea.

In the end, while the CPAP mask is effective for most people when used as directed, more than half of the patients prescribed CPAP can’t — or simply won’t — use it.

Common complaints about CPAP include:

  • It is uncomfortable to wear
  • It is too noisy
  • It causes dry mouth
  • It causes nasal congestion
  • It causes skin irritation

If you’re one of these people who have difficulty with compliance, who have failed to see an improvement in sleep quality and alertness with regular CPAP use or who simply just hate CPAP, there are alternatives.
