Design: Prospective study Inclusion criteria of patient group: Patients aged 19 to 60 years diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea(n=11) Main outcome measures: AHI (apnea-hypoapnea index), Oxygen saturation lowering variables (minimum oxygen saturation, oxygen saturation time less than 90% (%), oxygen desaturation index (ODI) , REM sleep time and ratio of each). Satisfaction with sleep and discomfort of electrical stimulation treatment before and after treatment were evaluated on the Likert scale.~Evaluate the state of health before and after electrical stimulation treatment through EQ-5D-5L.
In the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, by using sequential 4-channel electrical stimulation treatment, unlike conventional positive pressure devices, it can be done more effectively by improving the strength of the biceps and soft palate, which are the causes of sleep apnea. thought.
