 note = {Although sleep splint therapy is an effective modality for an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS),it is generally recognized that it is not effective with a severe OSAS (Apnea Index > 40).Recently,we treated 9 patients with severe OSAS using a sleep splint.Two of them were  successfully treated with the splint alone, showing remarkable improvement in scores on the Apnea Index, %SpO₂ < 90 and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). They were able to sleep better after the therapy, and analysis of the cephalogram with the splint showed enlargement of the upper airway. These two cases are reported., Article, application/pdf, 信州医学雑誌 50(1): 13-18(2002)},
