鼻鼾症治療

黃家聲醫師為您帶來免手術無痛的鼻鼾症治療，它比其他任何手術更加有效，成功率為79%。

打呼嚕的原由多發生在睡眠時，口腔上部的軟組織（稱軟顎）因呼氣時產生震動而造成的聲音。尤其在人們放鬆的時候，比如說躺下休息，或飲酒過後。如果你的軟顎過於鬆弛，就容易造成打呼聲響。

打呼是非常普遍的，男女皆會，發生在一半人口以上。 紐西蘭消費者協會在2003年的報道中指出全國藥房中銷售的口服或外用葯品對治療打呼都無長期的療效。

​

Sapphire 診所為您提供免手術方式以電波療法來治打呼，超過80%的患者只需一次的治療便可成功。這是一種比傳統切除手術或雷射手術更為有效的方法，它們的成功率僅 為70%。另一個優勢是，這是一個可以利用午餐時間完成的診療方式，治療後你可以直接去工作，午餐和正常談話。傳統的手術切除治療則需要住院觀察約一至兩 周的時間, 且奇疼無比!

研究證明只有20%的病人需要第二次治療，在此之後其中60%的人在打呼衡量表中會有2分的進步。

 

涉及到的內容：

您和您的伴侶需要填寫打呼衡量表。你的伴侶會獨立的評估您目前的情況，從而對治療的成功與否做出判斷。

治療的部位將被麻醉。電波專用探頭會放置在軟顎部位，隨著電波每秒鐘四百萬次的震動，軟顎在非疼痛的情況下會收縮。我們使用先進的治療儀器，軟顎變得緊實。 像帆船啟航，帆布沒有固定在帆桅上它會隨風而發出波動聲，軟顎在鬆弛的時候也是如此。所以我們的治療會讓您的軟顎更加緊實，如同固定好帆布而停止波動所引 起的聲響。非常鬆弛的軟顎可能需要第二次的治療來減低您的打呼聲。

 

會痛嗎？

我們用精密的儀器為您帶來幾乎無痛的治療，治療後您可以馬上進食，喝水，講話，更可以回公司工作。治療部位會用麻醉針和麻醉噴霧麻醉。

 

有什麼副作用嗎？

只有很少一些病人會有很輕微的口腔潰瘍，多數情況服用少量止痛片即可，很快自癒。

不要讓您的伴侶在忍受另外一個不眠之夜，請來與我們洽談對您這是否是合適的療程。

What is involved?

The snoring assessment needs to be completed by your partner and yourself. Your partner provides you with an independent objective assessment of your current state as well as judging the success of the procedure.

The area at the back of you mouth is numbed. The specialised probe which is made in America is placed in the soft palate which then results in scaring to the soft palate. We use the sophisticated Ellman Surgitron 4.0 mega Hertz dual frequency machine. This makes the soft palate stiffer, so like a sail on a boat which has batons to stop the sail from flapping, so does the procedure to the soft palate do the same. Hence those patients that don't initially respond, usually require more "batons" ie stiffening of their soft palate.

 

DOES IT HURT?

This office based procedure requires precision instruments to give you a near painless procedure whereby you can immediately eat, drink and talk afterwards, and can even return to work immediately if you desire. The area is numbed using numbing spray and a small dental block.

 

IS THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

A few patients develop a small ulcer which will heal by itself, requiring nothing more than a few paracetamol in most instances. The procedure is very well tolerated.

Don't let your partner put up with another sleepness night due to your snoring, come in and talk to us to see if this is the right procedure for you.
