eXciteOSA for Treatment of Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the eXciteOSA device amongst a sample of patients with moderate OSA. The study is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-arm trial of eXciteOSA (administered at two doses) versus no-therapy for six weeks. Up to 120 participants will be enrolled, in order to randomized n=62.
