Snoring is a very common human habit, and for this reason it is considered more a social nuisance that a disease symptom. The nasal valve area has the minimal cross-sectional area of the upper airways. A problem at this level may easily induce impaired breathing and consequently snoring, therefore nasal dilation might significantly improve this complaint. Nas-Air® is a new internal nasal dilator which was tested on 41 outpatients who snore. Snoring duration, assessed by smartphone, visual analogue scale for the perception of sleep quality were measured before and during Nas-Air® use. A significant reduction of snoring time and an improvement of sleep quality were achieved during Nas-Air® wearing. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that Nas-Air® is an internal nasal dilator able to reduce snoring time and improve sleep quality.
打鼾是一种非常常见的人类习惯，因此它被认为更多的是一种社会滋扰，而不是疾病症状。鼻阀区域是上呼吸道最小的横截面积。这个水平的问题很容易导致呼吸受损，从而导致打鼾，因此鼻扩张可能会显著改善这种抱怨。Nas-Air®是一种新的内部鼻扩张器，已在 41 名打鼾的门诊患者中进行了测试。通过智能手机评估打鼾持续时间，使用视觉模拟量表评估睡眠质量感知，在使用 Nas-Air®前后进行测量。在佩戴 Nas-Air®期间，打鼾时间明显减少，睡眠质量得到改善。总之，本研究表明 Nas-Air®是一种能够减少打鼾时间和改善睡眠质量的内部鼻扩张器。
