Abstract
This invention is an intraoral electro-muscular stimulation device (30), and a method to treat a breathing disorder. The stimulation device includes a first electrode (36), a first support member that maintains the first electrode in a sublingual location posterior to a frenulum proximate to one of a first molar, a second molar, and a third molar of a patient. A second electrode (38) is maintained in a sublingual position posterior relative to the first electrode by a second support member. A further embodiment of the stimulation device includes a sensor (54) that detects a respiratory parameter of a patient, outputs a signal indicative thereof. A control unit (50) receives the signal from the sensor, distinguishes between inspiration, expiration, initiates an electrical stimulation at a stimulation time prior to onset of inspiration, and continues stimulation through a portion of inspiration at a level sufficient to induce muscle contraction without pain.
