Funded Activity Summary

The most common treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea, continuous positive airway pressure, is only accepted by ~50% of patients. Individualised treatment options are urgently needed. In order to predict who will benefit from the common alternative therapies, my research will show how, upper airway surgery improves obstructive sleep apnoea at an individual level and develop tools that will help clinicians select patients for these therapies.
