Ansa Cervicalis Stimulation could become a viable ancillary respiratory neurostimulation (RNS) strategy for patients with insufficient responses to hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS).
New Developments Regarding Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
At least two new hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) devices are being evaluated in clinical trials, and more are in development.
No Persistent Postoperative Swallowing Dysfunction Following Pharyngeal Surgery in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Pharyngeal upper airway surgery in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) resulted in no significant, persistent adverse change in swallowing function.
No Significant Association Between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Age and smoking, but not body mass index, are associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR).
Two-Incision Approach a Safe, Feasible Option for Upper Airway Stimulator Placement for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Upper airway stimulation is a treatment used to address OSA by electrically stimulating select levels of the hypoglossal nerve to induce contraction of the genioglossus muscle and enlarge airways.
Ambulatory Surgical Center a Safe, Efficient Option for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Implantation in OSA Patients
Hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation in an ambulatory surgical center is safe and is more efficient than in an HOPD and may also be more cost-effective.
Adenotonsillectomy Is Likely to Resolve Central Sleep Apnea in Most Children with OSA
Although OSA is known to lead to arousals and central apneas, no study has identified factors associated with CSA improvement following adenotonsillectomy.
Black Race Associated with Reduced Adherence to Positive Airway Pressure Therapy in Veterans with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Among veterans with OSA, Black race was associated with reduced PAP adherence, suggesting health inequality among Black individuals in the treatment of OSA.
Palatopharyngoplasty Resolves Concentric Collapse in Patients, Enables Eligibility for Upper Airway Stimulation
Can a modified tissue-preserving uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) convert retropalatal concentric collapse to anteroposterior or lateral patterns of collapse on drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in patients who are not candidates for upper […]
Data on Upper Airway Stimulation Therapy Show High Success Rates for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients
This interval update from the ADHERE registry outcomes demonstrates efficacy, safety, and high adherence rates for UAS therapy.
