In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, a CPAP flow generator (22) is employed to direct air to a nasal mask (20) fitted to a patient. The airflow from the generator is monitored, and the flow and/or pressure is increased through signal processor (24) when the waveform of the air flow exhibits characteristics corresponding to flow limitation. The generator may be controlled to repetitively test for waveform variations, in order to adjust the CPAP flow to the minimum level that does not produce flow limi- tation.
