Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a primary endpoint, the effect of low level LASER photobiomodulation therapy is expected to reduce apnea / hypopnea index. Measurements will be taken before and after the 16 sessions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a secondary endpoint, the chronic effect of low level LASER photobiomodulation therapy is expected to improve collapsibility, autonomic control, hemodynamic control, and blood inflammatory markers in individuals with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Measurements will be taken before and after the 16 sessions. | — |
