Treatment for adult snorersTreatment for adult snorersA relatively new snoring treatment is the Pillar Palatal Implant System. This involves inserting small plastic rods into the soft palate, injected under local anaesthetic – the rods are about ¾ inches long. The idea is to stiffen the soft tissue of the palate, so preventing the soft roof of the mouth fluttering during sleep. According to studies done at University Hospital in Mannheim in Germany, by Dr. Joachim T Maurer, fifteen patients treated in this way showed significant improvements after 90 days. However, further research is still needed. Other remedies A popular cheap remedy is the nasal strip, which is a piece of flexible plastic embedded in a sticking plaster. The strip is placed over the outside of the nose and as the plastic tries to straighten itself out, a continuous pressure pulls open the nostrils, widening the nasal passages and allowing in air. It is important to buy the right size of strip or it won’t work. Nasal strips are popular and said to be effective but it depends on the cause of the snoring problem. They are not a cure for sleep Apnea. Back From Treatment for adult snorers to Stop Snoring Solutions.
