Learn how an implantable device can stimulate the tongue nerve to prevent airway obstruction and improve breathing in obstructive sleep apnea. Find out who is a candidate, how the surgery is done and what are the risks and benefits.
28 Μαΐ 2024 · Learn about the anatomy, mechanism, indications, and procedure of hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients who fail or decline positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. HNS is an implantable device that activates tongue muscles to open the airway during sleep.
9 Φεβ 2021 · Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), or upper airway stimulation (UAS), is a novel therapy in treating moderate and severe degrees of OSA in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. We reviewed the MEDLINE (PubMed) database.
8 Ιουλ 2023 · The hypoglossal nerve stimulator detects inspiratory effort during sleep and activates upper airway musculature to prevent airway collapse. This activity reviews the anatomy and physiology, indications, contraindications, complications, and benefits of therapeutic hypoglossal nerve stimulation.
The hypoglossal nerve stimulator is a novel strategy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. [1] [2] It has been gaining popularity over the last few decades and was approved in Europe in 2013 and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2014. [3]
Surgical options are invasive, not appropriate for severe OSA, and associated with pain and long healing time. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS), or upper airway stimulation (UAS), is a novel therapy in treating moderate and severe degrees of OSA in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
22 Δεκ 2023 · Learn how HGNS, a device that stimulates the tongue nerve, can treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by keeping the airway clear during sleep. Find out who can benefit from HGNS, how it works, and what are the advantages and risks.
