Non-invasive physical treatments are often used to treat common types of chronic/recurrent headache.
- Non‐invasive positive airway pressure therapy for improving erectile dysfunction in men with obstructive sleep apnoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Sep-2021
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with several chronic diseases, including erectile dysfunction (ED). The association of OSAS and ED is far more common than might be found by chance; the treatment of OSAS with non-invasive positive ai
