Treatment for sleep apnea varies depending on its severity and underlying causes. Common treatments include:
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): A device that delivers air pressure through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep. Oral Appliances: Devices worn in the mouth to keep the throat open by repositioning the jaw or tongue. Lifestyle Changes: Weight loss, avoiding alcohol and sedatives, and changing sleep positions can be beneficial. Surgical Options: Procedures to remove or shrink tissue, or to reposition the jaw, may be considered in severe cases or when other treatments fail.
