Abstract
To compare the efficacy and tolerance of controlled temperature radiofrequency (RF) and injection snoreplasty (IS) for the treatment of simple snoring. The study was a nonrandomized, prospective study conducted on 70 simple snorers. Efficacy of the operations was subjectively evaluated by the bed partners and after 6 weeks of the last treatment. Tolerance was evaluated by the patient during first 10 postoperative days. Postoperative pain and discomfort level were assessed. Satisfaction in terms of snoring severity was reported by 87.5% of the cases with RF and by 76.7% of the patients with IS. Discomfort levels also were similar for both groups Controlled-temperature RF and IS were both effective on snoring and well tolerated by the patients. This allows retreatments if necessary.
