Acupuncture increases the total effective rate of drug therapy for the relief of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine researchers combined acupuncture with drug therapy (montelukast plus mometasone). Patients receiving only medications had a 60.0% total effective rate. The addition of acupuncture increased the effective rate to 80.0%. [1] The results were measured with the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), minimum nocturnal arterial oxygen saturation scores (SaO2), and attention impairment indicators at the completion of all medical treatments.
