Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A thoracic antisupine device with novel design features will be worn during sleep. At the end of one month a home-based overnight sleep study with the device in situ will be performed. After a one week washout, followed by a month on nCPAP the study will be repeated.
Intervention code [1] 311 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
Use of the thoracic anti supine band (TASB) nightly for one month was compared with standard treatment nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) for the alternate month;
Control group
Uncontrolled

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 556 0
Apnoea hypopnoea index reduced to clinically acceptable levels (</= 10/h) as measured by the home sleep study and relief of symptoms such as daytime hyersomnolence
Timepoint [1] 556 0
At the end of the month on the device.
Secondary outcome [1] 1178 0
An overnight sleep study will be performed. Analysis of data will include the period of time spent sleeping in the supine posture. (Success with the anti-supine device <10% sleep in supine).
Timepoint [1] 1178 0
At the end of the one month period.
