Effects Of An External Nasal Dilator
Different snoring cases require different solutions. Abstract: A nasal dilator capable of introducing separating forces in the nasal outer wall tissue, has a resilient member, and a pair of spaced-apart end surfaces which can be forced toward one another from an initial flat position of the dilator to thereby substantially reduce the direct spacing therebetween by an external spacing reducing force.
This exploratory study sought to characterize the performance of the butterfly-shaped prototype device in lowering nasal resistance during sleep and reducing signs, symptoms, and objective measures of sleep-disordered breathing in subjects with chronic nocturnal nasal congestion and difficulty sleeping due to their chronic nasal congestion.
30. A nasal dilator defined in claim 29: and said UV-spring comprising substantially flat spring material prebent into a UV-shape in its free position; and centering means comprising, an aperture at the center of said nasal strip, and projecting means at the center of said UV-spring disposed to enter said aperture, for enabling the wearer to readily align said center of said nasal strip with said center of said UV-spring when installing each new nasal strip.
There were no apparent changes in any snoring parameters (Table 3 ). There was a numerical trend suggesting a possible shift in breathing route from oronasal to nasal during both phases of the study (Table 3 ); however, statistical analysis of the data from the active phase by both Wilcoxon test (P = 0.359) and two-sample t test (P = 0.559) showed that this trend did not reach statistical significance.
Abstract: A nasal breathing assist device includes one or two open-ended tubular elements each extending along a central tube axis between a relatively large Nasal Dilator first end and a relatively small second end, and at least one non-resilient tab extends from the first end toward the second end of the tubular element.
In the subgroup with AHI 0-5, the nasal dilator was associated with a reduction in the number of spontaneous arousals during the night, which decreased from a mean (SD) of 7.74 (4.11) at baseline to 5.81 (3.74) at night 8 and 6.15 (4.16) at night 29 of the active phase (P value not determined) and from 10.50 (7.22) on the night without the strip to 8.37 (6.47) on the night with the strip in the nasal resistance phase (P = 0.0235).
Our data indicate that the nasal dilator strip could be used as an alternative placebo intervention in randomized controlled trials of patients with severe OSA, as supported by the absence of effects in clinical sleep outcomes (sleep architecture and respiratory events) compared with CPAP.
The application site reactions consisted of a mark on the nose followed by a sore nose and nose tender to the touch 3 days later in one subject, bruising across the bridge of the nose in one subject, and skin abrasion in one subject, all of which were considered highly probably related to treatment, and one subject had broken skin on the nose above the strip placement that was considered possibly related to treatment.
The anti-snoring invention comprises as internal nasal dilator having a combination of elements constructed and arranged to provide near-normal breathing for the wearer, while preventing the dilator from falling out of the nose, and without annoyance or discomfort for the wearer.
Although we would do nearly anything for a peaceful night of quality sleep, do your research before buying any anti-snoring product A product that is found in many CVS pharmacies across the United States is Theravent Although not a nasal dilator, it has been shown to reduce snoring for some users that snore through their nose because it encourages mouth breathing instead.
