New sleep apnea mask put to the test
NCT ID NCT06060717
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new nasal mask called the F&P Caramel for people with obstructive sleep apnea. 45 adults who already use a similar mask tried it at home for 14 days. Researchers measured how well the mask controlled breathing pauses (AHI score) and daytime sleepiness. The goal was to see if the mask is safe and works well in everyday use.
