Evaluation of CBCT in adjuvant treatment of adolescent obstructive sleep apnea syndrome / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of snoring machine plus traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of young patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods 60 cases of young patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were included in the study, using snoring machine plus traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The nighttime polysomnography (PSG) was used to check the minimum oxygen saturation, the number of apnea, and the AHI. CT examination of patients before and after treatment of oropharynx, nasopharynx and throat cross-sectional area; evaluation of the two groups of clinical efficacy. Results After the treatment, the total effective rate was 91.67 % (55/60). The number of apnea and AHI were (25.02±3.88) and (15.68±6.47) / h respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (32.17±5.78)、(81.47±10.66)% was significantly higher than that before treatment (60.22±12.52)%,(P<0.05), and the lowest blood oxygen saturation (P<0.05) was significantly higher than that before treatment (26.55±8.29) times / h and P<0.05. (3.69±0.22) cm2, (4.23±0.39) cm2, (3.82±0.68) cm2, respectively, which was significantly higher than that before treatment (2.09±0.17) cm2, and the area of oropharynx, nasopharynx and throat were (3.69±0.22) (3.78±0.28) cm2, (3.17±0.49) cm2(P<0.05). Conclusion The use of snoring machine plus traditional Chinese medicine treatment of young obstructive sleep apnea syndrome effect is remarkable, it is worth promoting.
