Phase 1/2 — A combined trial that checks safety and dosing while also starting to look at whether the treatment works.
This trial is testing a new approach called HydroBreathe Therapy — a simple, low-cost treatment for obstructive sleep apnea that uses specially designed tools (a water bottle and breathing device) to strengthen the muscles in your throat and airways. Instead of relying on machines or surgery, this treatment involves daily exercises that help prevent your airway from collapsing during sleep. The study is designed specifically for U.S. military service members, including those who have experienced traumatic brain injury.
Many people with sleep apnea struggle with the standard treatments, which can be uncomfortable, expensive, or hard to stick with. This trial tests whether a simple, low-tech exercise program could be an easier and more affordable option that people can actually maintain long-term.

You would participate in a 3-month program where you use two simple tools daily: a specially designed water bottle with a unique nozzle and a handheld breathing device. You'll perform exercises with these tools multiple times per day as instructed. The study also involves some initial interviews to learn about your medical history, including whether you've experienced traumatic brain injury. Researchers will monitor your progress throughout the three months to see how well the exercises work for your sleep apnea.
