Sleep apnoea: is it time for new therapies?

Symposium
Chairs: R. Riha (Edinburgh (Edinburgh), United Kingdom), A. Simonds (London, United Kingdom)
Aims: to describe new treatment alternatives to continuous positive airway pressure. New pathophysiological phenotyping studies of upper airway function in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) have opened the way to new treatment strategies. This session will examine these new possibilities and thereby provide an overview on the current and future developments in the treatment of OSA.
