Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It involves using a machine that delivers a constant and steady air pressure through a mask that is worn over the nose or mouth during sleep. The air pressure helps keep the airways open, preventing pauses in breathing and the associated symptoms of sleep apnea. CPAP therapy is highly effective in reducing daytime sleepiness, improving concentration, and lowering the risk of serious health complications associated with untreated sleep apnea. Adhering to CPAP treatment can significantly improve overall quality of life for individuals with sleep apnea.
