Guthrie’s Sleep Disorders Center

Treatments
The following treatments are used in the treatment of various sleep disorders:

• CPAP/Bi-PAP – continuous positive air pressure and bi-level positive air pressure devices help patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) sleep normally by forcing open the air passages of the throat. This enables OSA patients to achieve regular sleep.
• Surgery – uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), somnoplasty and snorplasty are surgical procedures that either reduce or stiffen the tissues of the palate, reducing palatal flutter and thus snoring and potentially obstruction due to excess tissue.
• Oral appliances - specialty devices that are designed to reduce obstruction
