Webinar: Daytime NMES Therapy for Snoring & Mild OSA: A non-surgical option for the Otolaryngologist

Patients with primary snoring or sleep apnea are often referred to Otolaryngologists when PAP therapy or oral appliance therapy is not successful or well tolerated. The current treatment options and the role for a novel non-surgical option for these patients will be discussed.



Learning Objectives:
- Review the epidemiology and mechanism of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
- Discuss which patients with sleep disordered breathing symptoms typically present to the Otolaryngologist and the limitations of current treatment options for this population
- Discuss the role of neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy (eXciteOSA therapy) as a non-surgical treatment option for snoring and sleep apnea.
