Snore Prevention

(London, England) Finally, some relief for those who have tried nasal strips and still suffer from snoring problems. Of course, included would be relief for those who have to listen to the snoring.

Next week, the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) is expected to give its okey-dokey on the use of continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) devices (pictured).

NICE is expected to publish draft guidance on the use of the masks for sufferers of sleep apnoea throughout England and Wales next week. But provisional details issued by the watchdog to medical experts last month indicate that the masks could be recommended for patients with moderate or severe symptoms from next year.

Just think. No more sleepless nights after you outfit your spouse and family with these nifty strap-on nose appurtenances. The expected cost will be $800 to $1,200.

"Up your nose with a rubber hose" has a whole new meaning.
