There are 2 common methods used to treat sleep apnoea;
1. Somnomed- often prescribed for mild-moderate sleep apnoea patients, the device works by moving the jaw and tongue forward during sleep to open the airways.
2. CPAP machine- often prescribed for severe sleep apnoea patients, the machine pumps pressurised air through the nose and/or mouth to prevent the collapse of the airway.
A sleep test is required to determine which method would be most effective.
