Orofacial myofunctional therapy (OMT) has emerged as an alternative and adjunct for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in adults children. While OMT efficacy been demonstrated, morphofunctional mechanisms triggered by each exercise remain poorly elucidated. This study aimed to characterise upper airway (UA) changes associated with established oropharyngeal exercises utilised treat SDB nasofibrolaryngoscopy (NFL). Thirteen were selected analysed based on relevant literature....
Acquiring a better comprehension of obstructive sleep apnea physiopathology can contribute to improving patient selection for surgical treatments. We hypothesize that maxillary transverse deficiency restricts the space available tongue, leading upper airway obstruction during sleep. Our primary hypothesis was increases prevalence tongue collapse drug-induced endoscopy (DISE). The secondary will also increase circumferential at velopharynx. exploratory is associated with increased severity....
Literature has demonstrated hypoglossal nerve stimulation to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea nonadherent positive airway pressure therapy. However, the recommended criteria patient selection are still unable identify all unresponsive patients, highlighting need improved understanding about apnea.A 48-year-old Caucasian male had been successfully treated electrical of trunk, documented by level 1 polysomnography data. due snoring complaints, he...
Background: To correlate drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) criteria adopted for patient selection to transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with the surgical outcomes in obstructive apnea (OSA) treatment.
