What is positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?

Positional OSA is a condition in which over twice as many breathing disturbances occur when sleeping on the back as compared to the side. A recent study by Heinzer, et al, (2018) demonstrates that exclusive Positional OSA is present it 36-47% of OSA subjects².

When you sleep on your back, your airway may be blocked, which can disrupt breathing.

When you sleep on your side, your airway is clear, which allows for easy breathing.

Getting a positional OSA diagnosis

Your doctor can confirm if you have positional obstructive sleep apnea from a sleep study that you have undergone when being diagnosed for sleep apnea.

Is NightBalance therapy right for you?

Are you suffering from positional OSA but cannot tolerate positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment? Are you finding it unbearable to use a mask, leave you with dry mouth or nose irritations? If yes, NightBalance might be the answer for you.

How does it work?

As you sleep, NightBalance detects when you are sleeping on your back and delivers auto-customized, gentle vibrations that prompt you to move onto your side without disturbing your sleep. The quiet vibrations help you to stay off your back and avoid the higher number of breathing disturbances that occur when you sleep on your back. This reduces the overall Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) to levels that make NightBalance clinically non-inferior to CPAP therapy³.
