sleep snoring is a common everyday phenomenon. It not only affects the others rest,UGG Clearance, also may be related to hypertension, coronary heart disease,UGG Boots Clearance, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases related. Now universal method of treatment of snoring is not satisfactory. December 27, U.S. media reported that the U.S. medical scientists are trying to give patients a new pacemaker implanted at the base of the tongue means to overcome this plague.
in medicine, snoring is sleep apnea syndrome, the main clinical manifestations, and one of the main causes apnea is a reduced ability to pharyngeal muscle contraction, blocking airflow through the upper airway patients because of lack of oxygen at night lead to groggy during the day. The disease occurs mainly in obese and the elderly, sick men, the proportion is much higher than women.
recognized treat obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a more effective treatment with continuous positive airway pressure breathing apparatus (abbreviation CPAP). The instrument will be a lightweight, flexible headband fixed with a good nasal mask in the patient's nose, nasal mask connected to one end and the pump. Patients with sleep, pump in the high-speed air flow through the hose and nasal mask into the upper respiratory tract, in the formation of a local nasopharyngeal airway positive pressure to prevent the patient's pharyngeal wall collapse, thus avoiding the occurrence of inspiratory to expiratory pause.
but this instrument there are two major shortcomings: First, the nasal mask and the face of poor fit,UGG Boot, easy to stand up when the patient leaks or fall; the second is the patient wearing nasal mask to sleep at night will produce insecurity, and even lead to claustrophobia. In addition, there are surgical methods of treatment of nocturnal apnea, but higher risk.
Recently, US-based incentive Minneapolis medical company (Inspire Medical), medical experts said that if the patient lying tongue slightly forward when stuck, will help the gas Road open to allow air flow passed. According to this theory, the experts developed a device similar to a pacemaker, it is implanted in patients with tongue position, according to the patient's respiratory rate shock hypoglossal nerve, the tongue forward in the inspiratory probe for flow smoothly through. Patients before going to sleep can set up remote pacemaker working hours.
a volunteer trial of the device, said excitedly: The Ao Delan doctor said that the device has just a dozen patients in the trial, the effect remains to be seen. He added: Related articles：
