Dr Cullen had a four year period at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, where his research involved headache and other symptoms of sleep apnoea, clinical features predicting the presence of obstructive sleep apnoea and clinical features improved by continuous positive airway pressure therapy. He used lasers to measure oropharyngeal dimensions to improve the assessment of patients with possible sleep apnoea.
Dr Cullen uses new treatments for sleep apnoea, including mandibular advancement splints, CPAP, positional strategies and many other options.
