Hypoglossal nerve conduction findings in obstructive sleep apnea.
Denervation of oropharyngeal muscles in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been suggested by needle electromyography (EMG) and muscle biopsy, but little is known about oropharyngeal nerve conduction abnormalities in OSA. We sought to compare hypoglossal nerve conduction studies in patients with and without OSA. Unilateral hypoglossal nerve conduction studies were performed on 20 subjects with OS...
متن کاملHypoglossal nerve stimulation improves obstructive sleep apnea: 12-month outcomes.
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 sleep apnea severity. The objective of this study was to examine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of a novel hypoglossal nerve stimulation ...
متن کاملMicrosurgical Anatomy of the Terminal Hypoglossal Nerve Relevant for Neurostimulation in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
BACKGROUND Neurostimulation of the hypoglossal nerve has shown promising results in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This anatomic study describes the detailed topography of the hypoglossal nerve's motor points as a premise for super-selective neurostimulation in order to optimize results and minimize the risk of complications related to main nerve trunk manipulation. METHODS Thirty ...
متن کاملTherapeutic electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve in obstructive sleep apnea.
BACKGROUND Hypoglossal nerve stimulation has been demonstrated to relieve upper airway obstruction acutely, but its effect on obstructive sleep apnea is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine the response in obstructive sleep apnea to electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve. METHODS Eight patients with obstructive sleep apnea were implanted with a device that stimulated the hypoglossal n...
متن کاملHypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea: A review of the literature
Objective To review the indications and clinical evidence supporting hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) therapy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods Peer reviewed literature on hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy for obstructive sleep apnea from 2001 to 2016. Results The only currently FDA-approved HNS device for the treatment of moderate-to-seve...
