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.
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.

How Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Is Evolving to Give Patients a Better Night’s Sleep
Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) continues to advance, from the increasingly sophisticated realm of wearables to new techniques for implantable devices.
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.

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.
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.
Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy May Have Broader Role in Evaluating OSA Patients for Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation
The role for drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in counseling candidates for HNS extends beyond excluding complete concentric collapse related to the velum.
OSA Treatment: Barbed Reposition and Expansion Sphincter Pharyngoplasties Produce Comparable Outcomes
BRP and ESP procedure outcomes are comparable in the improvement of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with palatal collapse, although further trials and long-term follow-up are needed.
Oxygen Desaturation Index Valuable for Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Some Instances
What is the value of the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) as compared to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in accurately diagnosing adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
