A home sleep apnea test provides a medical provider with information to diagnose sleep apnea. It allows you to sleep at home wearing equipment that collects information about how you breathe during sleep. You will usually set up the testing equipment yourself.
CPAP Titration Study

Positive Airway Pressure Therapy
A CPAP titration study is an overnight sleep study used to properly set continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP is a common treatment used to manage sleep-related breathing disorders including sleep apnea.

CPAP therapy is the leading treatment for sleep apnea. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. CPAP therapy keeps your airway open by gently providing air through a mask you wear while you sleep. This splints the airway open and eliminates the breathing pauses caused by sleep apnea.
Dental Appliance Therapy

Dental Appliance Therapy
Oral appliance therapy is a treatment for snoring and sleep apnea. It involves wearing a removable oral appliance in your mouth when you sleep. The device fits much like a sports mouth guard or orthodontic retainer.
An oral appliance prevents your airway from collapsing.
Surgical Interventions

Surgery may be a part of the treatment plan for some patients with sleep apnea or snoring. Your sleep team may recommend surgery if you can’t tolerate CPAP therapy. Some surgeries are minimally invasive, while others are more complex.
