Effect of Heated Humidity With Thermosmart™ Compared to an Intranasal Steroid in Improving Compliance and Nasal Symptoms in Patients Using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Summary

1. CPAP compliance will be significantly higher in both the heated humidity with Thermosmart™ and the nasal steroid phases compared to the double placebo phase. 2. CPAP compliance will be comparably improved in the heated humidity with Thermosmart™ phase versus the nasal steroid phase. 3. Improvement in nasal symptoms in using CPAP will be significantly improved in both the heated humidity with Thermosmart™ and the nasal steroid phases compared to the double placebo phase, and comparable between the heated humidity with Thermosmart™ phase versus the nasal steroid phase. 4. Secondary to improvements in CPAP compliance, measures of daytime functioning and quality of life will improve in the heated humidity with Thermosmart™ versus double placebo.
