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.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs, des systèmes et des procédés médicaux permettant d'atténuer une série de troubles, y compris les troubles respiratoires liés au sommeil. On peut ainsi modifier la rigidité, la forme et/ou la taille d'une structure tissulaire renforcée, en appliquant un champ magnétique et/ou électrique. La voie respiratoire supérieure peut donc être remodelée pour la respiration nocturne, avec maintien du mouvement physiologique établi (par exemple, déglutition, élocution, chant, etc.) en situation d'éveil. Une contrainte des structures tissulaires peut également être utilisée dans le même but.
