Step by step to diagnosis

Step 2 – Polygraphy (home sleep lab)
Step 3 – Polysomnography (sleep medicine centre)
Step 4 – Diagnosis (pneumologist, pulmonologist or ENT)
If you cannot cope with the CPAP mask in the long term, you should talk to your doctor about alternative treatment options. An alternative treatment could be Inspire therapy with upper airway stimulation.
One of the prerequisites for Inspire therapy is
that you have already tried the CPAP mask.
Contact your GP or specialist to discuss treatment options.
CPAP mask for sleep apnoea:
effective but not very popular
For moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), wearing a CPAP mask is recommended during the night. According to the German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine (DGSM), this is currently the standard therapy.1 CPAP stands for ‘Continuous Positive Airway Pressure’. In German: kontinuierlicher Atemwegsüberdruck.
If you cannot cope with the CPAP mask in the long term, Inspire therapy with upper airway stimulation could be an option. Information material on Inspire therapy with upper airway stimulation is available here:
1 Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Wissenschaftlichen Medizinischen Fachgesellschaften e.V. (AWMF). e.V. Available online at: www.awmf.org/uploads/tx_szleitlinien/063-001l_S3_SBAS_2017-08_2.pdf; Last accessed: April 2020.
We are pleased that you are benefiting
from treatment with the CPAP mask.
If you experience problems with the CPAP mask in the future,
Inspire therapy could be a possible alternative for you.
