Summary

This early study tests a neck device that uses gentle suction to keep the airway open during sleep, which might help people with obstructive sleep apnea. Ten healthy volunteers will wear the device during one night of sleep and compare their breathing to a night without it. The goal is to see if the device is safe and reduces breathing pauses.
