First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested whether a high-resolution pressure-sensing tube (manometry) can accurately locate where the airway gets blocked during sleep in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers compared it to the standard method (drug-induced sleep endoscopy) in 18 participants. The goal was to see if this new tool could provide clearer, more detailed information to guide surgery or other treatments.
