Summary
This early-phase study tested whether the drug acetazolamide can reduce the severity of breathing pauses that occur during REM sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Eleven adults with REM-predominant OSA who were not using CPAP took part. Researchers measured changes in breathing events and muscle activity during sleep to see if the drug could offer an alternative treatment.
