Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep,leading to breathing pauses and reduced oxygen levels.Snoring is another sleep-related issue that can disrupt sleep quality for both the snorer and their sleep partner.
The eXciteOSA device offers a unique approach to treating both mild OSA and snoring.Unlike traditional CPAP machines,which use continuous positive airway pressure to keep the airway open at night,eXciteOSA uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during the day.
Here's a closer look at eXciteOSA and how it works:
How eXciteOSA Works
eXciteOSA is a mouthpiece connected to a small stimulator unit.The mouthpiece delivers gentle electrical pulses to the tongue muscles.This stimulation aims to strengthen and improve the endurance of the tongue muscles,which can help keep the airway open during sleep and reduce snoring.
Benefits of eXciteOSA
- Daytime Therapy:Unlike CPAP,eXciteOSA requires only 20-minute daily sessions,making it easier to integrate into your routine.
- Comfortable:Many users find the mouthpiece comfortable to wear.
- Non-invasive:There are no tubes or masks involved,making it a more user-friendly option for some.
- Clinically Proven:Studies have shown that eXciteOSA can be effective in reducing mild OSA and snoring symptoms.
Is eXciteOSA Right for You?
eXciteOSA may be a suitable option for people with mild OSA or snoring who are looking for a comfortable and non-invasive alternative to CPAP therapy.However,it's important to consult with a doctor to determine if eXciteOSA is right for you,especially if you have a more severe case of OSA.
