FACEFORMER therapy is effective against snoring and sleep apnea
In a controlled study (pilot study), the success of FACEFORMER Therapy in patients with snoring and sleep apnea was evaluated. For a three-month phase, a daily therapy of 4 exercise units was required. One exercise unit comprised 20 repetitions of the basic exercise and 20 repetitions of at least one pull exercise. After approx. 3 weeks, when improved nasal breathing could be felt as a result of training, the FACEFORMER was also applied at night. The goal was to get used to nasal breathing.
Sleep Apnea – Treating causes instead of just symptoms
For obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), positive pressure ventilation using CPAP is the standard treatment method. However, due to side effects, patient acceptance of the method varies widely. In addition, studies show that the therapy method cannot fulfill many of the hopes placed in it for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. CPAP treatment only alleviates symptoms. As a purely symptomatic treatment, however, the method cannot replace a causal therapy that attacks the cause of the health disorder.
