Currently universal method of treatment of snoring is not satisfactory. US media on December 27 reported that the US medical scientists are trying to overcome this new approach to patients with chronic illness, at the base of the tongue by implantation of a pacemaker.
In medicine, snoring is sleep apnea syndrome clinical manifestations, caused by one of the main reasons is the pharyngeal muscle contractility decreased apnea,http://basqfw.org/home.php?mod=space&uid=25015, upper airway obstruction of airflow through the patient because of nighttime hypoxia cause daytime groggy. The disease occurs in obese and elderly, male prevalence is much higher than the proportion of women.
More effective methods of treatment recognized that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is to use CPAP therapy device (abbreviation CPAP). The instrument will be a light and elastic nasal mask is fixed on the patient's nose with a headband,http://googemani.seesaa.net,louboutin pas cher, a nasal mask connected to one end of the pump. When the patient bed, high-speed air stream generated by the pump hose into the upper respiratory tract and nasal mask,http://www.infocrystal.com/alink/apeboard_plus.cgi?command=read_message&msgnum=970/, nasopharyngeal airway in partial form a positive pressure to prevent the patient's pharyngeal wall collapse, thus avoiding the occurrence of breathing pauses.

In addition, there are methods nighttime apnea surgery, but higher risk.
Recently, headquartered in Minneapolis incentives Medical (Inspire Medical) Medical experts say, if the patient is lying down slightly forward and stuck his tongue will help the airways open,http://oita-tirasi.com, allowing air flow passed . According to this principle,http://gzhlb.cn/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=70236, the experts developed a device similar to a pacemaker, which is implanted in a patient tongue position,hogan outlet,http://www.abzalov.ru, can shock the hypoglossal nerve according to the respiratory rate of the patient, so that when the suction probe tongue forward so that airflow smoothly through. Available remote control patients before sleep set pacemaker working hours.
The trial of the device as a volunteer, said excitedly: "I almost feel it at work,tn pas cher, sleeping it help me solve a big problem.."
Incentive medical doctor's Alderaan, said the device has just a dozen patients in the experimental effect remains to be seen. He added:. "Lose weight,http://soft.duoduo123.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=86621, may be the best means of snoring treatment."
