In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a method of treating episodes of apnea and / or hypopnea which comprises the steps of: a) detecting or predicting an apnea episode and / or hypopnea using at least one sensor selected from: a respiratory pressure sensor, a pulse oximeter, an acoustic sensor, and / or the temperature of the respiration and a step b) in which occurs the emission of an electrical signal by an electric actuator associated with at least one sub-mental muscle and / or nerve; said electrical signal using a bipolar waveform and a frequency between 5Hz and 100Hz. |
