Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome

A common and treatable breathing disorder

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a breathing disorder that occurs during sleep, affecting millions of people worldwide. It is characterised by frequent interruptions in breathing, known as apnoeas, which can lead to reduced blood oxygen levels and disrupt the sleep cycle. At La Clinique du Sommeil in Yutz, near Thionville, we offer comprehensive diagnosis through polysomnography and personalised follow-up care.
