Effects of Medical Therapy on Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adult Patients

Conclusions:Intranasal steroids and montelukast did not decrease AHI; however, total sleep time and percent of stage R sleep significantly increased. Self-reported improvement could be explained by observed changes in sleep parameters. Larger prospective studies could help elucidate the effects of medical therapy on adult patients with OSA.Clinical Trial Registration:Registry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Title: Montelukast and Nasa ICS for Treatment of Mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults; Identifier: NCT01089647; URL:https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT01089647Citation:Smith DF, Sarber KM, Spiceland CP, Ishman SL, Augelli DM, Romaker AM.
