Dilation of the oropharynx via selective stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve [PDF]

Journal of Neural Engineering, 2005
The functional effects of selective hypoglossal nerve (HG) stimulation with a multi-contact peripheral nerve electrode were assessed using images of the upper airways and the tongue in anesthetized beagles. A biphasic pulse train of 50 Hz frequency and 2 s duration was applied through each one of the tripolar contact sets of the nerve electrode while ...

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Therapy

2022
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) has been shown to be a safe alternative in the treatment of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A recent meta-analysis of 12 studies by Costantino et al. indicated the surgical success rates at 55-75%, a reduction of the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 18 events/h, and a reduction of the Epworth ...

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2011
ObjectiveOSA is a common cause of sleep morbidity. A novel treatment for obstruction at the level of the tongue is a unilateral hypoglossal nerve implant system (Inspire, Inspire Medical, Minneapolis, Minnesota). Study objectives were to assess sleep outcomes in a multicenter academic setting feasibility trial.MethodNerve stimulation effect on AHI and ...

Physiology of hypoglossal nerve stimulation

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2015
The base of tongue plays an important role in the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and addressing the tongue base can be an alternative for continuous positive airway pressure and some surgeries done such as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty to treat OSA.

Selective stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve

Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (Cat. No.00CH37143), 2002
The main objective of this study is to dilate the pharynx by selective activation of the lingual musculature through electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve. A flat-interface-nerve-electrode (FINE) with nine contacts was implanted on the proximal hypoglossal nerve trunk in a dog.
