Injection Snoreplasty for Snoring Treatment

Introduction to Injection Snoreplasty

• The European Respiratory Society does not recommend injection snoreplasty for simple snoring due to lack of sufficient evidence 1, 2
• The procedure aims to decrease inspiratory airway resistance by reducing palatal vibration during sleep, according to the European Respiratory Society guidelines 1

Clinical Guidelines and Recommendations

• The European Respiratory Society guidelines recommend mandibular advancement devices (MADs) for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with the highest level of evidence (A) 3, 4
• Weight reduction should be considered as a first-line approach for snoring associated with excess weight, as suggested by the European Respiratory Society 3, 4
