Snoring during sleep can be triggered by many factors, one of which is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder marked by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, lasting from seconds to minutes. This condition reduces sleep quality because the brain and body lack sufficient oxygen. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lower sleep quality and potentially lead to serious health risks.
Mandaya Sleep Center offers a solution for snoring caused by sleep apnea using Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR). This procedure is performed by a highly experienced ENT specialist, dr. Abdillah Hasbi Assadyk, Sp.THT-KL.
Understanding QMR: A Solution for Snoring Caused by Sleep Apnea
QMR is a modern medical technology widely used in minimally invasive surgical procedures, including the treatment of sleep apnea. It works by delivering high-frequency electromagnetic waves that cut or open tissue with great precision while preserving the surrounding cells.
For sleep apnea, especially Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) caused by narrowing or blockage of the upper airway, QMR is used to:
- Reduce excess tissue in the throat or soft palate that causes blockage.
- Open the airway so airflow can pass more smoothly during sleep.
- Minimize tissue trauma since the procedure requires only minimal incisions and produces very little heat.
The frequency used in QMR is relatively low (4–16 MHz), designed to shrink nasal turbinates without generating heat.
Additionally, QMR allows for more effective tissue reduction because it targets mucosal tissue selectively while stimulating the regeneration of healthy tissue.
The procedure itself is quick, lasting only about 15–20 minutes, ensuring patient comfort.
Advantages of QMR for Sleep Apnea Treatment
Compared to conventional methods, QMR offers several benefits for treating snoring due to sleep apnea:
- Minimally invasive – performed without large incisions, making it safer for patients.
- Faster recovery – patients can typically return to normal activities within 3–5 days, compared to 10–14 days with conventional methods.
- Minimal bleeding and pain – surrounding tissue remains well-preserved.
- Improved breathing – the airway becomes clearer, resulting in better sleep quality and deeper rest.
- High success rate – effective for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
With QMR, patients suffering from snoring due to sleep apnea may no longer need to rely on CPAP therapy.
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is a common treatment for sleep apnea, using a machine that delivers a steady stream of pressurized air through a mask to keep the airway open during sleep.
