Medical devices, systems, and methods mitigate a variety of disorders, including sleep-related breathing disorders. A stiffness, shape, and/or size of a reinforced tissue structure can be altered by applying a magnetic field and/or electrical field. The upper airway can be remodeled at night while maintaining physiological movement (such as swallowing, speaking, singing, and the like) when awake. Biasing of the tissue structures may also be employed.

Des dispositifs, des systèmes et des procédés médicaux permettent de pallier une variété de troubles, y compris les troubles respiratoires liés au sommeil. Une rigidité, une forme et/ou des dimensions d'une structure tissulaire renforcée peuvent être modifiées par application d'un champ magnétique et/ou d'un champ électrique. Les voies aériennes supérieures peuvent être remodelées la nuit tout en préservant le mouvement physiologique (comme la déglutition, la parole, le chant et similaire) une fois éveillé. Il est également possible de polariser les structures tissulaires.
