Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a snore treatment device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the change of dietary structure, more and more people suffer from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, i.e. respiratory arrest caused by obstructive lesions of the upper respiratory tract, the main symptom of which is snoring.

[0003] As for the cause of the above-mentioned disease, it is mainly due to respiratory muscle weakness, such as neck, pharyngeal tissue muscle weakness, hypertrophy and crowding, which leads to respiratory obstruction, thereby causing snoring during sleep, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients.

[0004] In order to effectively treat the physical and mental health of patients, the treatment methods for snoring mainly include surgical resection, snoring treatment, exercise and weight loss treatment, etc. Specifically, the snoring treatment mainly includes the use of breathing machines, snoring patches, snoring braces or snoring bands before sleep, so that the patient's respiratory tract is unobstructed during sleep. However, the patient's acceptance is low, and only the symptoms can be treated, not the root cause, i.e. the patient will snore again after removing the device. The exercise and weight loss treatment can fundamentally solve the problem of respiratory muscle weakness caused by obesity, but it requires a lot of time and a specific place for the patient, and most people are difficult to spare time for weight loss exercise, so it is difficult to achieve the effect of snoring treatment.

[0005] However, in addition to the above-mentioned treatment methods, the patient's pharyngeal or laryngeal muscle group can also be exercised by a training device to achieve the purpose of treating snoring and improving the breathing machine. However, the existing training device cannot effectively exercise the muscle group, and cannot adjust the respiratory resistance of the training device according to the specific conditions of different people, which affects the treatment effect on the patient.
