Abstract

Conventional therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including CPAP and oral appliances, offer the best opportunity for symptomatic improvement and reduction in OSA overall health impact. Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way.
