Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Upper airway stimulation (UAS) is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Previous data have demonstrated a correlation between the phenotype of tongue motion and therapy response. Closed loop hypoglossal nerve stimulation implant offers five different electrode configuration settings which may result in different tongue motion. STUDY DESIGN: Two-center, prospective...
