Summary

This UK trial tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses to keep the airway open during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnoea. It is for adults who cannot use standard CPAP therapy. The study will compare the device to usual CPAP care over three months to see if it improves breathing and sleep quality.

What this could mean

Active substance: transcutaneous electrical stimulation device (ZeusOSA)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with sleep apnoea who struggle with CPAP machines.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 186 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not be as effective as CPAP or could cause discomfort.
