Études cliniques

Traitement de l’apnée du sommeil

Les études démontrent que le traitement CPAP peut aider les patients atteints d’apnée obstructive du sommeil à améliorer leur qualité de vie, leurs relations interpersonnelles et leur état de santé général.

Le traitement CPAP est plus efficace lorsqu’on intervient rapidement et qu’on met en place des programmes de soutien aux patients
