Patent

CA 2578713

A method and device for treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, in which one sensor senses the onset of an episode of snoring or sleep apnea and causes production of an electrical stimulating signal consisting of a combination of direct current and a train of alternating pulses, with the respective functions of opening up restricted airway passages by stimulation of related muscle groups and eliciting a response of partial arousal, in which the condition is corrected. The onset of the episodes is sensed by an acoustic transducer, the episodes being differentiated by their unique acoustical signature by means of appropriate signal processing, the acoustical transducer also carrying one of two stimulation electrodes, which are held in light contact against the throat of the subject by means of a lightweight neckband.
