“…Snoring for three or more nights per week is termed habitual snoring and is mostly related to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypopnea [ 4–7 ]. However, it can also be a standalone problem in many patients [ 2 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Although several nonsurgical and surgical methods are used to manage snoring and OSA, patients should be compliant and accept the morbidity associated with these management methods [ 9 , 29 ]. There are treatment options for snoring and daytime sleepiness, including lifestyle modifications (avoiding risk factors, sleep position training), surgery, appliances (nasal dilators) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) appliances.…”

“…CPAP is a treatment of choice for sleep apnea [ 30–32 ]. Some surgical procedures that can help reduce snoring are tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, septoplasty, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), somnoplasty and laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) [ 9 , 33 , 34 ]. However, there is no optimal treatment for primary snoring to achieve long-term effectiveness while being minimally invasive [ 35 ].…”

Efficacy of Pillar Implants to Reduce Snoring and Daytime Sleepiness

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective: To measure the efficacy of pillar implants in reducing snoring. Materials and methods: A total of 30 adult patients who underwent pillar implants were assessed preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the implantation. Improvement was measured using snoring frequency, visual analog scale for snoring loudness, and Epworth sleepiness scale for daytime sleepiness. Results: The mean snoring frequency, loudness and Epworth score were reduced from 6.9, 9.2 and 7.4 at the baseline to 5, 5.9 and 5.6, respectively, at 12 months postoperatively (all p < 0.03). The partial implant extrusion rate was 6.7%. Conclusion: We suggest that a pillar implant procedure should be considered before proceeding to more morbid surgeries in patients with snoring and daytime sleepiness.

Minimally invasive erbium laser treatment for selected snorers

et al. 2019

The aim of this paper is to present our results and experience in the treatment of snoring using the non-ablative Erbium: Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) laser. Twenty-four patients (18 male and 6 female) with snoring problems due to soft palate hypertrophy were treated with 3 treatment procedures with Er:YAG 2940-nm laser (long pulse mode, 10 Hz, fluence 1.8-2.0 J/cm 2) performed at 2-week intervals. The treatment procedures were performed in outpatient settings. One treatment session lasts 15-20 min. Subjective (questionnaires) and objective (polygraph) outcome measures were assessed at baseline and 3 months after the final laser treatment. Wilcoxon Signed Rank was used to compare before and after scores. All polygraph variables showed some improvement 3 months after the end of treatment; however, only the reduction of the number of hypopnea episodes per hour was statistically significant (p = 0.034). In 13/24 patients, snoring time accounted for less than 5% of the sleep time after the treatment compared to 6/24 patients at baseline. The questionnaire survey showed statistically significant improvement in the quality of sleep and life of the patients as well as their partners after Er:YAG treatment (p < 0.001). The assessment of daytime sleepiness using the Epworth scale also improved 3 months after the end of treatment (p = 0.010). Based on our observations, the treatment of snoring with the Er:YAG laser is an effective and non-invasive therapeutic method. Further studies with long-term follow-up and a control group are warranted to confirm the promising results obtained in case series.
