調查範圍
Sleep apnea remains one of the most common chronic respiratory disorders worldwide, with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) accounting for the majority of diagnosed cases. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) remains the standard treatment, inconsistent patient adherence has created significant unmet clinical need. Developers are increasingly pursuing oral pharmacological therapies, combination medicines, neuromodulation technologies, and precision medicine approaches designed to offer more convenient and personalized treatment options.
