Impulse Configuration in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Effect of Modifying Pulse Width and Frequency [PDF]
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an effective treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in positive airway pressure therapy failure. Nonetheless, data regarding the functional effect of modifying stimulation parameters within each electrode configuration are limited.

Exogenous nerve growth factor protects the hypoglossal nerve against crush injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Studies have shown that sensory nerve damage can activate the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but whether the same type of nerve injury after exercise activates the p38MAPK pathway remains unclear.

Neural circuit analysis of axons regenerated by facial–hypoglossal nerve cross-link surgery
Regenerative Therapy, 2015 Introduction: Several methods of nerve reconstruction for facial nerve palsy are known. Although the recently introduced method of “cross-linking” of the facial and hypoglossal nerves with a grafted nerve has proved efficacious, the underlying mechanism ...
