Outline of Final Research Achievements

During wakefulness, apneic events, even in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), hardly occur regardless of the presence or absence of such episodes while asleep, because the augmented activity of the genioglossus muscle acts to patent the upper airway by maintaining the tongue in position. Hence, it is reasonable to hypothesize that OSA could be alleviated if the awake tongue position is maintained despite a sleep-related reduction in genioglossus muscle activity. It was found that continuous tongue suction to maintain the tongue in the awake position improved OSA. This approach represents a potential alternative for OSA treatment without application of positive airway pressure and mandibular/tongue advancement treatment.
