Whole Body Vibration for OSA
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In brief
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a serious medical condition which is increasing in the United States and significantly increases risks for other diseases, morbidity and mortality. The most common treatment for OSA is CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), but this intervention has low patient compliance, significant expense ($800-2,000/set), and high inconvenience. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training is a novel OSA intervention which could have higher patient compliance, low expense, and potentially lower morbidity and mortality and improved quality of life in this increasing patient population.
