ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00131547 |
The purpose of the study is to determine if weight loss interventions aimed at lifestyle modification (dietary education, food diary pedometer) result in weight loss in patients with mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) when compared to usual patient care. The secondary purpose of the study is to determine if the amount of weight loss achieved in a 6 month period results in improvements in snoring and other symptoms and in the frequency of apnea on overnight monitoring.
