Comparison of a Vibrating Belt Versus a Positional Pillow for the Treatment of Positional Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Real-World Setting: Results of a Prospective Randomized Crossover Trial
In this study, we have shown a significant reduction in supine sleep time in POSA patients using the vibrating belt, which was not observed with the positional pillow. However, the results must be qualified by the small number of patients included.
