Revolutionizing Sleep: Exploring Modern Treatments for Sleep Apnea
Share
Sleep apnea, a condition marked by interruptions in breathing during sleep, affects millions worldwide. Thanks to medical advancements, individuals now have more options than ever to regain restful sleep and protect their health.
What is Sleep Apnea?
There are two main types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Caused by a physical blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep.
- Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Occurs when the brain fails to send the right signals to the muscles that control breathing.
Modern Treatment Options
1. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy
CPAP therapy remains the gold standard. Machines like the ResMed AirSense™ 11 AutoSet™ deliver gentle air pressure to keep airways open. Border Medical Supplies offers a full line of CPAP machines, masks, and accessories to support every patient's unique needs.
2. Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs)
These are custom-fitted oral appliances that move the jaw forward slightly to maintain an open airway. Ideal for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea who prefer an alternative to CPAP.
3. Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation
This is a surgical implant that stimulates tongue muscles to keep the airway open. It’s an option for those who haven’t responded to other treatments.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
- Losing weight
- Sleeping on your side
- Limiting alcohol and sedative use
