Ways To Effectively Treat Catathrenia

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a treatment typically used for patients with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes an individual's breathing to be interrupted during sleep, which can decrease sleep quality or lead to other health complications. This type of therapy is administered with a CPAP machine, which includes a mask that covers the mouth and nose, a mask covering only the nose, or prongs patients place in their nose. The mask is connected by a tube to the motor, and the motor blows air through the tube. CPAP machines have been shown in some research to help reduce the effects of catathrenia. They can be prescribed by sleep technologists and doctors, who will work with patients to find the correct settings.
