This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new artificial intelligence system designed to identify what's causing your obstructive sleep apnea and match you with the treatment most likely to work for you. Obstructive sleep apnea happens when your airway repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep, and the causes can differ from person to person—some people have structural airway problems, while others have issues with muscle responsiveness or arousal. The researchers will use information from your sleep study to classify your specific type of sleep apnea and then test whether pairing you with a targeted treatment—such as surgery, a CPAP device, throat exercises, or online throat training—improves your condition.
Right now, doctors don't have precise tools to predict which treatment will work best for each individual sleep apnea patient, so many people end up trying treatments that don't help them. This research aims to solve that problem by using artificial intelligence to identify the root cause of your sleep apnea and recommend the treatment most likely to succeed for you.

You will undergo a sleep study to measure your airway and muscle activity, and then be assigned to one of five groups: sleep hygiene education only, throat surgery, face-to-face throat exercises (1–2 sessions per week for 12 weeks), online throat exercises (1–2 sessions per week for 12 weeks), or CPAP therapy. Your progress will be tracked to see whether the artificial intelligence system successfully matched you with the right treatment for your type of sleep apnea.
