“…Ferguson et al reported that multi-lesion RF with higher energy levels per treatment increased the efficacy compared to single-lesion therapy. 1738 A study by Bäck et al revealed that RF surgery of the soft palate is not recommended as a single-stage approach in mild OSA. 1739 RF may be suitable as a first-step treatment particularly due to its minimally invasive nature, but additional treatment sessions may be needed to increase long-term efficacy.…”

Background: Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). Methods: Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidencebased review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. Results: The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. Conclusion:This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Radiofrequency ablation treatment of soft palate for patients with snoring: A systematic review of effectiveness and adverse effects

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The review provides evidence that SP RFA is an intervention causing less postoperative pain than others, and the risk of adverse effects for the patient seems to be small. It may reduce symptoms of snoring, at least in the short term. However, most of the published SP RFA literature is based on observational studies with a short follow-up time, which precludes solid conclusions about the effectiveness of the procedure.
