The RF treatment approved by the FDA is for snoring not sleep apnea. There are studies going on to determine if it is effective for some types of sleep apnea, but the preliminary results are that it is effective for reducing or eliminating snoring. If you want more information you can click on the Snooze Paper at the top of this page then clicking on August issue, more information is available there along with a link to a CNN report on the subject. The company who is working on this is Somnus. Their web address is www.somnus.com.
