Abstract

The invention discloses a corrector for preventing and treating snoring, wherein at least one convex structure is arranged at the back of an upper body wearing body, so that when a patient turns from a side sleeping state to a flat sleeping state during sleeping, the convex structure can press the patient, and the patient can rapidly adjust the sleeping posture to the side sleeping state, thereby reducing or reducing the problem that the patient blocks the respiratory tract due to the fact that the soft palate of the patient is loose and the tongue body falls down in the flat sleeping state, namely reducing the problem of apnea of the patient caused by respiratory tract blockage during sleeping, and effectively preventing the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.

Description

Appliance for preventing and treating snoring

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation auxiliary appliances, in particular to an appliance for preventing and treating snoring.

Background

Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) refers to apnea caused by complete or partial obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in chronic intermittent hypoxia, carbon dioxide retention, repeated negative pressure increase in the thoracic cavity, and autonomic nerve dysfunction, and mainly comprises Obstructive (OSAHS), Central (CSAHS) and mixed types, so that Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is most common, about 95%. The obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome mostly has pathological bases of upper respiratory tract, particularly narrow nasal and pharyngeal parts, such as obesity, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyp, tonsil hypertrophy, soft palate relaxation, too long and thick uvula, tongue body hypertrophy, tongue root tenesmus, mandibular retraction, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, mandibular malformation and the like. Foreign data show that the prevalence of OSAHS in adults is 2% -4%. The prevalence rate of OSAHS in adults in China is about 4 percent, about 4255 ten thousand of OSAHS patients exist at present, and the patient population tends to increase and become young year by year, so that the OSAHS is a serious social health problem.

The main treatment methods for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome at present are medical treatment, surgical treatment, noninvasive ventilation treatment and oral appliance. The internal medicine treatment mainly aims at internal medicine diseases which can cause apnea, and measures such as losing weight, giving up smoking and drinking and the like, and has the defects of slow effect and low patient compliance. The surgical treatment comprises uvula-palatopharynoplasty, tonsillectomy, adenoid scraping, nasal cavity surgery and the like, and has the problems of great surgical success rate, great surgical difficulty and trauma, difficult popularization and the like caused by difficult grasping of indications. The non-invasive ventilation treatment is troublesome to carry and use, has certain noise, and can cause discomfort of upper airway mucous membrane, so that 25-30% of patients can not tolerate the treatment for a long time. The oral appliance treatment gradually becomes an alternative method of non-invasive ventilation treatment, but the oral appliance treatment also has the problems that the curative effect is difficult to predict, the design precision is difficult to control, occlusion change and temporomandibular joint discomfort occur after a patient wears the oral appliance treatment. Therefore, it is not desirable to provide a non-invasive, highly compliant, easy to use and popular sleep device that can reduce or alleviate the airway obstruction caused by snoring due to tissue structure compression during sleep.
