Inserm estimates that 30% of people over 65 are affected by sleep apnea, even if many of them are not diagnosed. Treatment involves wearing a continuous positive airway pressure machine at night, a nasal ventilation device that allows the airways to remain clear during sleep. A particularly restrictive treatment, it must be recognized.
An implant placed under the chin
This is why the small clinical trial that British researchers from University College have just conducted will raise a lot of hope because it could well become an alternative to continuous positive pressure devices. These researchers implanted a chip under a patient’s chin to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the muscles of the tongue. This chip, which remains inactive during the day, is activated at night by an external chip that the patient places on his chin using an adhesive patch before going to sleep.
