The FDA also recently announced the approval of a prescription tongue muscle stimulation device which claims to reduce mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. The solution, approved for people 18 and older, is different from past therapeutic devices because it functions while the patient is awake, working over time to prevent tongues from obstructing airways later during sleep.
A neck collar is also in development to provide an alternative sleep apnea solution, using negative pressure therapy in a device worn around the neck during sleep to reduce side effects of sleep apnea. The device provides gentle suction to prevent patient's soft tissue from resting on airways during sleep, keeping breath moving normally.
