Obstructive sleep apnea improves with non-invasive hypoglossal nerve stimulation using temporal interference

Bioelectronic Medicine, 2023
Background Peripheral nerve stimulation is used in both clinical and fundamental research for therapy and exploration. At present, non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation still lacks the penetration depth to reach deep nerve targets and the stimulation

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation over-titration. [PDF]

J Clin Sleep Med
This case report reviews worsening obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) events in a patient over-titrated with a hypoglossal nerve stimulator. A healthy 57-year-old man underwent hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation for moderate OSA. During an in-laboratory hypoglossal nerve stimulator titration the patient had improvement of his OSA at 2.1 V. However, a

Auditory Perceptions Associated With Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. [PDF]

Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
Among 70 HNS recipients, 17.1% (n = 12) reported new‐onset auditory perceptions occurring specifically during device activation, with no significant associations with preexisting tinnitus, age, BMI, device amplitude, or stimulation frequency. These perceptions appear to arise from an external physical source (device vibrations and mechanical ...
