Chronic snoring can double
the risk of death; it can be relieved with neck implant. The researchers have
developed a matchbox-sized device that can regulate breathing for the people
suffering from severe form of snoring condition. The study involved the
patients who suffered from heart failure; there are two conditions; one is when
the heart fails to beat with required force and the second is when the heart
forgets to tell muscles to breathe as they sleep. The result of this study has
shown that neck implant is quite effective in regulating the breathing. The new
implant, titled Remede, is supposed to
be placed under the skin below the collar bone and a wire is threaded into one
of the veins near the phrenic nerve that runs down to the lungs. Unlike
traditional mask based therapies, Remede system is acceptable to most of the
patients and improves their heart function and sleep.
