Treatment options

ResMed has developed therapy devices and ventilators that can help you feel better during the day and sleep better at night, so you can get the most out of life.

Why is treatment important?

Because NMD affects your muscles, you may not have the muscle strength to breathe on your own, and it’s important that you start treatment with a ventilator.
