Besides weight reduction, regular exercises, abstinence from alcohol and tranquilizers, there are also surgical and non-surgical methods to help eliminate his/her symptoms. These range from nasal and sinus surgery to clear the obstructing nasal airway or oropharyngeal surgery. The principal aim here is to stiffen the soft palate and prevent collapse and obstruction of the oropharyngeal airway. A tonsillectomy with uvulo-palato-pharyngoplasty or somnoplasty of the palate and base of tongue can be done.

Upper and lower jaw advancement techniques can be performed, if the need arises.

The non-surgical option would be a dental splint or CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy (use of nasal mask with atmospheric air under pressure).

For those with severe OSA, nasal CPAP therapy is recommended. The patient has to wear a mask to sleep. This provides atmospheric air under low pressure to open up the oropharyngeal airway. This cures the patient of snoring and OSA Syndrome as long as the patient wears the CPAP machine to sleep.
