The swallowing reflex, which is mediated by the swallowing center in the medulla (the lower part of the brainstem), causes the food to be further pushed back into the pharynx and the esophagus (food pipe) by rhythmic and involuntary contractions of several muscles in the back of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus.
Neural monitoring methods and systems for treating upper airway disorders
Methods and systems for monitoring, preventing and / or treating upper airway disorders such as apnea, dysphagia, reflux and / or snoring are described. The methods and systems monitor the upper airway disorders by processing one or more neural signals obtained from one or more upper airway afferents. Upper airway disorders are prevented and / or treated by delivering one or more stimulations to one or more reflex-related afferents, efferents, muscles, and sensory receptors to manipulate the threshold and / or trigger an upper airway reflex including, but not limited to a swallow reflex and / or a negative-pressure reflex.
