Provent
Has anyone here tried Provent and if so would you recommend it?
Re: Provent
If you have severe sinusitus as you mentioned in your thread about masks, this is not for you since it requires that your breathe through your nose.littlerainjacket wrote:Has anyone here tried Provent and if so would you recommend it?

Re: Provent
I tried Provent prior to being diagnosed, and found it to be useless. I woke up gasping for air every time; not sure how they claim it 'help's sleep apnea if you can't breathe with it onlittlerainjacket wrote:Has anyone here tried Provent and if so would you recommend it?

Re: Provent
I suspect many more have tried it than use it.

Re: Provent
UK/Swiss Sleep Clinic Study says no difference between Provent and Provent placebo. Small sample group (67) but followed a reasonably scientific track. By reasonably scientific I mean it had some questionable wording e.g. "partially blind test". Don''t know how a test can be partially blind.
Conclusions Provent cannot be recommended as an alternative short-term therapy for patients with moderate to severe OSA already on CPAP.
