Quantitative Sensory Testing in the Oropharynx

CDT gave more discriminative results than VDT. Signs of sensory nervous lesions were present in the oropharynx of most patients with OSAS and some snorers, supporting the hypothesis of a progressive oropharyngeal nervous lesion. CDT testing could be a useful clinical method to evaluate the degree of oropharyngeal nervous lesions in patients who snore and in those with OSAS.
