Conventional therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), including CPAP and oral appliances, offer the best opportunity for symptomatic improvement and reduction in OSA overall health impact. Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. With rising obesity rates, weight loss and lifestyle programs seem to be the most favorable integrative methods to combine with conventional OSA therapies. Complementary and integrative approaches to OSA management are varied and, in conjunction with conventional methods, may offer some reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)的常规治疗方法,包括 CPAP 和口腔器具,为改善症状和降低 OSA 对整体健康的影响提供了最佳机会。整合医学以协调的方式将常规方法和补充方法结合在一起。随着肥胖率的上升,减肥和生活方式计划似乎是与常规 OSA 治疗相结合的最有利的整合方法。OSA 管理的补充和整合方法多种多样,与常规方法结合使用,可能会降低呼吸暂停-低通气指数。
