题文
阅读理解。 It's happened to all of us: we sleeplessly toss (翻转) and turn while the person next door snores (打呼噜)his way through the night.
"Millions of people snore, most of whom are men over the age of 20," said Robert Bone, chief of Head and
Neck Surgery at Scripps Clinic in San Diego."As many as 45 percent of people snore, and as many as 25
percent are chronic (慢性的) snorers. Male snorers far outnumber women who snore."
To help chronic snorers get a good night's sleep, Dr. Bone treats his patients with Somnoplasty, a
now-proven procedure that he created at Scripps Clinic six years ago. "If you snore loudly and frequently and
do not have other breathing disorders, Somnoplasty may be the solution for you," he said.
Somnoplasty uses low-temperature radio waves to treat a well-defined area in the soft palate (鄂). A small
prong is inserted into the mouth toward the back of the throat. Then radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath
the surface of the soft palate. The treated part is heated just enough to create an area of coagulation(凝结物).
Over the next four to six weeks, the body naturally tears off the treated part, reducing volume and solidifying
the area that is responsible for snoring.
The procedure takes place in the doctor's office, and typically lasts no longer than 15 to 20 minutes.
Patients need two to four treatments, and the procedure is 80 percent effective. Treatment costs only $200 to
$300 and is covered by some insurance. Dr. Bone treats about 800 patients a year.
"Somnoplasty is the state-of-the-art procedure for snoring," Dr. Bone said. "It can provide much-needed
relief to chronic snorers and their families."
