The tiny device “the Tickler” can cure snoring and cure sleep apnea. It uses electricity to stimulate the diaphragm.
Installed in the Breasts implant that delivers tingling pulses of electricity, may be the new methods of struggle against snoring and other sleep disorders. This device is created to combat a very common disorder called sleep apnea, in which people face stop breathing at night. The device uses electrodes to stimulate the diaphragm muscle at the base of the lungs, which plays a key role in the process of respiration. Most often, people are faced with obstructive sleep apnea, in which soft tissue of the air passages as if fails. When it passes through air, it creates a characteristic vibration, sound which is unpleasant for many, a snore.
The new technique works by stimulating the phrenic nerve, which stretches from the neck to the area around the lungs, including the movement of the diaphragm. The idea is that when the device feels the breathing problems during sleep, it starts to emit the tingling and subtle electrical impulses to the phrenic nerve, activating the muscles that control the diaphragm. This is what restores normal breathing. The technology consists of a generator and battery in a titanium shell, the size is slightly smaller mobile phone that are implanted under the skin on the right side of the chest.
The first transactions for the stimulation set in the right brachiocephalic vein close to one of the two phrenic nerves in the chest. Second transactions for breath control is implanted into another vein in your chest. Studies have shown that this technique is very effective. (READ MORE)
