Patients who struggle to comply with CPAP therapy, may find Zzoma a more comfortable alternative therapy to treating mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Clinical studies have shown that, in patient with mild to moderate OSA, the Zzoma was equivalent to CPAP therapy at normalising their disrupted breathing to less than 5 events an hour (Apnea Hypopnea Index <5). It was found to be similar to CPAP therapy in regards to effects on sleep quality and blood oxygen levels during sleep (nocturnal oxygenation).1
