Use the device you can consistently use, as either reduces problems the same, as long as they get used.

It’s too bad there aren’t any more EPAP. That was a good option.

CPAPs are medieval instruments of torture. If anyone knows of a good MAD, please post it here.

I have severe sleep apnea. The initial sleep study found that I stopped breathing, on average, every two minutes, during obstruction episodes. My blood/oxygen would fall as low as 84% in that time.
It took me more than two years to find the right CPAP device and medication combinations to let me sleep comfortably. I don’t think six months is a long enough study period.
Reduction in sleep apnea events to near zero did not reduce my blood pressure at all.

I had a MAD device 25 or 30 years ago.
I never got to find out if it helped with sleep apnea, since it produced severe and very painful TMJ in my jaw. I only got to use it for a week, but no refunds.

I get obstructive apnea if I sleep on my back. (I also have neurological apnea.) For the obstructive apnea, I’ve always wondered whether a simple chin strap would work, but I wouldn’t want to devise one of my own and end up cutting off circulation to my brain because then my kid would have to put with CNN.

MAD was very uncomfortable for me
CPAP never an issue unless I’m without it
They are also used as breathing assist device for the non asleep with COPD
Never got all the complaining here over them
