This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing the Cryosa System, a new treatment that uses controlled freezing to treat obstructive sleep apnea—a condition where your airways repeatedly collapse during sleep. The procedure targets tissue in your tongue and soft palate (the back of your mouth). Researchers want to see if this treatment is safe and whether it helps people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe better at night.
Many people with obstructive sleep apnea cannot use or do not respond well to common treatments like CPAP machines or special mouthguards. This trial exists to offer a new option for patients who need help but haven't found success with existing therapies.

If you qualify, you would undergo the Cryosa procedure, which involves applying controlled freezing to your tongue and soft palate under general anesthesia. The study will enroll 25 people total across up to 10 sites in the United States. You would need to be able to attend visits at your study site and follow up as directed by the research team to monitor how well the treatment works and watch for any side effects.
