Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, disrupting normal breathing. This issue of the Sleep Medicine Clinics focuses on prevention, screening, and treatment options for OSA beyond positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, which is usually the first-line treatment. The issue explores alternative and adjunctive treatment approaches like oral appliances, weight loss programs, positional therapy, and upper airway surgery to help manage OSA for patients who are non-adherent or intolerant to PAP therapy.
