The method of treating functional somatic syndromes includes identifying a patient as having a functional somatic syndrome or a symptom thereof and treating such a patient with an airway stabilization technique. Suitable airway stabilization techniques include positive airway pressure therapies, such as a CPAP treatment, and a mechanical airway stabilization device, such as an oral appliance, a tissue distending device, and a stimulation device. The method of diagnosing a sleep disorder includes determining whether a patient suffers from one or more symptoms of a functional somatic syndrome, and diagnosing such a patient having one or more symptoms of a functional somatic syndrome as having sleep-disordered breathing. The method may further include treating such a patient with an airway stabilization technique.

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour traiter des syndromes somatiques fonctionnels comprenant les étapes suivantes: un patient est identifié comme présentant un syndrome somatique fonctionnel ou un symptôme de celui-ci; et le patient est traité au moyen d'une technique de stabilisation des voies aériennes. Les techniques de stabilisation des voies aériennes appropriées comprennent les thérapies de pression positive des voies aériennes telles que le traitement CPAP, et un dispositif mécanique de stabilisation des voies aériennes tel qu'un appareil oral, un dispositif de distension des tissus, et un dispositif de stimulation. Le procédé pour diagnostiquer un trouble du sommeil comprend la détermination de si un patient souffre ou non d'un ou de plusieurs symptômes d'un syndrome somatique fonctionnel, et l'établissement d'un diagnostic selon lequel ce patient présentant un ou plusieurs symptômes d'un syndrome somatique fonctionnel souffre de troubles respiratoires au cours du sommeil. Le procédé peut également comprendre le traitement d'un patient au moyen d'une technique de stabilisation des voies aériennes.
