A few further options you might try:

1. Inspire is an implant that electrically activates the muscles in your airway. You program it with a Bluetooth remote. It require that you have tried CPAP without success, but it works very well for some people. https://www.inspiresleep.com/

2. Apnimed is developing pharmaceutical interventions for sleep apnea. They’re conducting clinical trials; you could try to get involved in one of those to see if your apnea is improved by one of those drug candidates. https://apnimed.com/pipeline/

I tried Inspire but it didn't work for me. My doctor said it's about 50:50 in terms of patients that it works for. CPAP works great for me. I also recently got a mandibular oral device which also works fine and is useful for situations where I don't want to lug a CPAP around (eg travel)
