Official title:
Evaluation of the Effects of Acupuncture Press Needle in Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of acupuncture press needle in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is characterized by multiple episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep and considered as a major health issue worldwide due to comorbidity with obesity, hypertension, diabetes and more advanced cardiovascular diseases. The noisy sounds of snoring caused by OSA bother bed partner sleepless and lead to long-term health problems.
