Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea: a rapid HTA [PDF]

, 2022
Key message Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent interruption in breathing (apnoea) due to the narrowing or closure of the soft pharyngeal tissue while asleep. This is a risk factor for cardiovascular, neurological,

Impulse Configuration in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: The Effect of Modifying Pulse Width and Frequency

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.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation improves obstructive sleep apnea: 12-month outcomes [PDF]

, 2014
Reduced upper airway muscle activity during sleep is a key contributor to obstructive sleep apnea pathogenesis. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation activates upper airway dilator muscles, including the genioglossus, and has the potential to reduce obstructive ...

Beyond CPAP: modifying upper airway output for the treatment of OSA

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is exceedingly common but often under-treated. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has long been considered the gold standard of OSA therapy. Limitations to CPAP therapy include adherence and availability.
