Research
International Surgical Sleep Society Meeting
April 2018
This year, we were able to host the largest international meeting on sleep surgery with a main focus on individualized treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
One of our main research focus is on OSA. We are performing research projects in the development of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic options in this disease.
Upper Airway Stimulation
Also know as hypoglossal nerve stimulation is one of the most promising techniques for the future in the treatment of patients with OSA. As one of the worldwide leading centers, we focus on a lot of research topics targeting this new field.
Sleep Related Disorders
Patients, who are affected by sleep disorders can suffer from these diseases really severe. As a sleep laboratory at a university hospital, we focus on a wide spectrum of research topics in this field.
