Sleep Diagnostics & Snoring Treatment

Overview

Sleep disorders like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occur when the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. Our advanced sleep diagnostics help pinpoint the underlying causes, allowing for precise and effective treatment tailored to individual patient needs.

Medical Uses

Sleep diagnostics at Mueller Medical Clinic are recommended for patients experiencing:

• Chronic snoring or loud breathing during sleep.
• Pauses in breathing (sleep apnea) observed by a partner.
• Daytime fatigue, poor concentration, or headaches due to disrupted sleep.
• Frequent nighttime awakenings or gasping for breath.
• Persistent dry mouth or sore throat upon waking.

Diagnosis & Methods

Our ENT specialists utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to evaluate sleep disorders, including:

• Home Sleep Study (Polysomnography) – A portable device monitors breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns overnight.
• In-Clinic Sleep Study – A more comprehensive analysis performed in a controlled sleep lab setting.
• Airway Examination – Endoscopic evaluation of nasal and throat structures to identify obstructions.
• Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) Calculation – Determines the severity of breathing disruptions during sleep.

Treatment Options

Based on the diagnostic findings, we provide personalized treatment options, including:

• Lifestyle Modifications – Weight management, sleep posture adjustments, and dietary changes.
• CPAP Therapy – Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for moderate to severe sleep apnea.
• Oral Appliances – Custom-fitted devices to reposition the jaw and improve airflow.
• Surgical Interventions – Procedures such as **Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)**, **Septoplasty**, or **Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)** to address structural obstructions.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures – Balloon Sinuplasty or nasal valve correction to enhance airflow.

Pre- & Post-Procedure Guidelines

Prior to undergoing sleep diagnostics or treatment, our specialists provide a thorough assessment to determine the most effective approach. Post-treatment, we offer follow-up care to monitor progress and ensure long-term improvements in sleep quality and overall health.
