After a patient receives a diagnosis, the diagnosing physician can provide different options for treatment. If<unk>  is medication-induced (e.g., opioids), reducing the dose or eventual withdrawal of the offending medication often improves<unk> . * The FDA has recently approved a pacemaker-like implantable device called the remedē System for adult patients with moderate to severe<unk> . After a commonly performed procedure, the device stimulates a nerve in the chest (phrenic nerve) to send signals to the large muscle that controls breathing (the diaphragm). It monitors respiratory signals during sleep and helps restore normal breathing patterns. The device is silent, activates automatically during the night, and does not require the patient to wear a mask. * Mechanical regulation of airflow and/or airway pressure: :* Treatment for<unk>  differs in that the device is set not at one constant optimal pressure but rather at two different settings, one for inhalation (IPAP) and for exhalation (EPAP), maintaining normal breathing rhythm by inflating the patient's lungs at regular intervals whose specifics, such as the breathing rate and the duration of a single breath, can be programmed. Devices tailored to this purpose are known as BiPAP ("bilevel positive airway pressure") devices. :* Both CPAP and BiPAP devices can be connected to a humidifier to humidify and heat the inhaled air, thus reducing unpleasant symptoms such as a sore throat or blocked nose that can result from inhaling cold, dry air. :*CPAP and BiPAP devices can trigger central Apneas in those with obstructive sleep apnea requiring the use of an ASV (adaptive servo ventilation) device, which is also the proper machine for those who have<unk>  or mixed/complex apnea.
