Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is a promising surgical option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Efficacy studies for HGNS stimulation mainly focus on the apnea-hypopnea index and/or oxygen desaturation index. The aim of this study I am sharing was to show the physiological effects of HGNS stimulation on upper airway patency, airflow, and treatment effect during polysomnography (PSG) testing.
