Association of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation With Improvements in Long-term, Patient-Reported Outcomes and Comparison With Positive Airway Pressure for Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Maeve Pascoe et al.

Summary: This cohort study showed that hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) for obstructive sleep apnea resulted in sustained improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) over a 1-year period, with outcomes comparable to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy at 3 months. The findings suggest that HNS is an effective treatment option for improving insomnia and depression in patients with OSA.

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea: updated position paper of the German Society of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, Head and Neck Surgery

Armin Steffen et al.

Summary: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is now considered an established treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Germany. There are three different HNS systems available, each with its own technical details. Studies and reports exist for different types of HNS, and it is important to evaluate the patient's condition and consider other treatment options before deciding on HNS.

Adverse Events in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Implantation: 5-Year Analysis of the FDA MAUDE Database

Nikhil Bellamkonda et al.

Summary: The use of hypoglossal nerve stimulator has greatly improved surgical treatment for multilevel airway collapse in OSA patients. However, technical difficulties and complications still exist during the perioperative period, emphasizing the need for clear communication with patients during the surgical consent process.
