OSA causes severe symptoms, such as excessive daytime somnolence, and is associated with a significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Different treatment options are now available for an effective management of this disease. After more than three decades from its first use, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is still recognized as the gold standard treatment. Nasal CPAP (nCPAP) is highly effective in controlling symptoms, improving quality of life and reducing the clinical sequelae of sleep apnoea. Other positive airway pressure modalities are available for patients intolerant to CPAP or requiring high levels of positive pressure. Mandibular advancement devices, particularly if custom made, are effective in mild to moderate OSA and provide a viable alternative for patients intolerant to CPAP therapy. The role of surgery remains controversial. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is a well established procedure and can be considered when treatment with CPAP has failed, whereas maxillar-mandibular surgery can be suggested to patients with a craniofacial malformation. A number of minimally invasive procedures to treat snoring are currently under evaluation. Weight loss improves symptoms and morbidity in all patients with obesity and bariatric surgery is an option in severe obesity. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary for an accurate management of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2040622315590318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,9]],"date-time":"2015-07-09T21:41:44Z","timestamp":1436478104000},"page":"273-285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":258,"title":["Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and its management"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Lucia","family":"Spicuzza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"UO Pneumologia, Azienda Policlinico, Via Santa Sofia 187, 95123 Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Caruso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Unit, AOU Policlinico, University of Catania, Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Di Maria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Respiratory Unit, AOU Policlinico, University of Catania, Catania, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2040622315590318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3999(02)00548-2"},{"key":"bibr2-2040622315590318","volume-title":"International Classification of Sleep Disorders","author":"American Academy of Sleep Medicine","year":"2014","edition":"3"},{"key":"bibr3-2040622315590318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2010.10.002"},{"key":"bibr4-2040622315590318","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ashrafian H., Toma T., Rowland S., Harling L., Tan A., Efthimiou E.
