P-302 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF SLEEP APNEA ABSTRACT A method for treatment of sleep-apnea syndrome in a patient is disclosed as including monitoring inspiratory effort and generating electrical signals in response to the step of monitoring in order to stimulate those nerves which activate the patient's upper airway muscles to contract in order to maintain upper airway patency. A system (10) for such treatment is disclosed as including a monitor (14) capable of monitoring in- spiratory effort, and an electrical signal generating mechanism (16) coupled to the monitor (14) for generat- ing electrical signals, to affect the patient's upper airway muscles in order to thereby maintain upper airway patency.
