CPAP

Surgery 

Surgery, including nasal surgery to improve airway and CPAP compliance, palate and tonsil surgery or UPPP or palatoplasty, or tongue-jaw surgery to advance the tongue forward or shrink the back of the tongue (radiofrequency ablation), have all shown benefits. Newer procedures such as hypoglossal nerve stimulator placement have also shown improvement but have not gone mainstream yet. In a well-selected patient, a cure is possible with surgery. Advancing the maxilla and mandible, called MMA (maxillomandibular advancement) has shown greater than 90% success in some studies.
