161. Injection Snoreplasty To Cure Snoring A new procedure for the treatment of snoring. This resource page gives information and links to journal research on this procedure. http://www.putanendtosnoring.com/snoreplasty.htm

Injection snoreplasty is a relatively new method of controlling snoring that appears to be safe and inexpensive. Designed to address the primary snorer (a Socially Incorrect Snorer , in our terminology), this procedure involves your doctor injecting a substance into your mouth to stiffen your upper palate. This reduces the vibration that causes snoring. The substance is a "sclerosing agent" that scars your palate. (Surgical cures for snoring can work the same way: your surgeon will use a laser, scalpel or radiofrequency device to scar and thereby stiffen your throat tissues. The trick seems to be identifying the tissues which are most responsible for your snoring. We're all different.) Effectiveness Initial clinical experience at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. involving 27 patients reported a 92% success rate in snoring control. Nineteen months after treatment, 22 patients evaluated the frequency and loudness of their snoring. 95 percent were willing to undergo the procedure again and would recommend it to others. Sixteen percent of patients reported a relapse of their snoring after treatment. One anecdotal article says that the snorer's spouse noticed a 50% reduction in snoring.

Tired during the day? Tired of a poor night's sleep? Want to go from this to this? Individuals who snore may also suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). There are a variety of treatments for each disorder, and our Department has had extensive experience in treating patients who suffer from both kinds of sleep disorders. Many people snore. It has been estimated that anywhere from 30 - 50% of the United States population snore at some time or another. Significant snoring is sometimes described as "heroic" snoring, in which the snoring loudness may be heard more than two bedrooms away. Such snoring may cause several problems: Marital Discord Sleep disturbances (from spousal prodding) Waking episodes (from one's own snoring) Frequent association with OSAS Snoring is not sleep apnea, and sleep apnea is not snoring. Snoring is a social problem, as indicated above, and may be associated with significant sleep disturbance, waking episodes, etc. without OSAS. However, many patients with loud snoring do have significant obstructive sleep apnea.

Treatment for Snoring and Sleep Apnea In most patients, the obnoxious noise which we call snoring is a result of excessive vibrations within the structures of the back of the mouth, particularly the free margin of the soft palate and the uvula. Snoring is made worse if the oral airway is narrowed by enlarged tonsils and a large tongue. Some patients have trouble breathing at night and this is called sleep apnea. Snoring and sleep apnea disorders are made worse by any degree of nasal obstruction which occurs as a result of nasal allergy or previous nasal injury. Nasal obstruction changes the air flow across the soft palate, thereby increasing the snoring and worsening any existing sleep apnea. of snoring occur when there is obstruction to the free flow of air in the passages at the back of the nose and throat. This collapsible part of the airway where the tongue meets the soft palate and uvula, is the area where loud snoring is produced. Persons who snore have at least one of the following problems: (lack of tightness) in the muscle for the tongue and throat. Flabby muscles allow the tongue to fall backwards or allow the throat muscles to be drawn in from the sides into the airway. This occurs when the person's muscular control is too relaxed by the use of alcohol at bedtime (night cap) or from drugs such as antihistamines which may cause sleepiness. It also happens in some people when they are in the deep stages of sleep

Contact Us © Twilight Bridge™ All Rights Reserved We all know that snoring can be a real annoyance for a sleeping partner. But in some cases, snoring is an indication of a more serious problem than partner frustration.

What Can You Do About Insomnia? Below, two sleep disorder experts offer an introduction to sleep apnea, its diagnosis, and treatment options. What is sleep apnea? DANIEL WAGNER, MD: "Apnea" means "without breath." And sleep apnea is a type of "without breath" that occurs only during sleep. The majority of cases are obstructive, where the throat back behind your tongue literally gets sucked closed by the chest as it's trying to pull air through it. That's because the muscles of the throat have relaxed enough when you're asleep to allow that to happen. It would never happen while you were awake you would choke and know it immediately. That goes on for 10, 20, 30, sometimes 60 seconds. The efforts of the chest finally wake the person up briefly, usually without their knowing it. They breathe a few times and get their oxygen levels back up, and then as they fall back into light sleep, the whole business happens again.

Click here to close this window. Snoring and Sleep Apnea Why do I snore? Medical experts estimate that more than 30 million American adults snore. Snoring or gasping sounds during sleep is caused by the vibration of relaxed, floppy tissues that line the upper airway (or throat). When you sleep, muscle tone decreases throughout your body and your throat muscles relax, causing the soft palate and the uvula (fleshy structure that dangles from the roof of your mouth) to vibrate as you breathe in and out. Is snoring harmful to my health? The severity of this disorder varies: It can be a mild nuisance that disturbs a restful night's sleep or a symptom of the more serious, progressive sleep apnea syndrome. A history of snoring may precede development of more serious sleep disorder symptoms, including excessive daytime sleepiness, memory impairment, morning headache, poor work performance and loss of sexual drive. While snoring by itself is not life threatening, it can interfere with a good night's sleep for you, the snorer, and also affect your partner's ability to get quality sleep. Scientific research has found that partners of snorers lose up to an hour of sleep a night because of the nuisance. How can I minimize my snoring?

You toss and turn while the other person snores away, seeming having a wonderful sleep. However, things are not always as they seem! It has been determined that snoring is often a precursor of serious upper airway disorders such as OSA which involves the closing of the upper airway while asleep. Over the long term, OSA is associated with greater risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research estimates that 38,000 cardiovascular deaths, due to sleep apnea, occur each year. However, OSA was not well understood or recognized by the medical community until recently, and only a fraction of OSA patients have been diagnosed and treated.

February 29, 2004 California Snoring—But May Get A Wake-Up Call Tuesday By Steve Sailer It's time for another election in California! Aren't you excited? Nobody here in California is, either. Last October's spasm of civic-mindedness, in which we rose up and threw out Gov. Gray Davis and replaced him with Arnold Schwarzenegger, has largely exhausted Californians' never-impressive attention span for state and local politics. Almost nobody has noticed that something interesting might be happening in Tuesday's Republican Senatorial primary. Californians normally find Presidential politics more glamorous. Among California Democrats, John F. Kerry appears to have a big lead over John Edwards. Among Californians in general, George W. Bush is in free fall. In January's Field Poll , he led John F. Kerry by nine points, but by late February, he trailed Kerry by twelve.
