Sleep apnea device may also boost metabolism, study hopes
NCT ID NCT06317701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a tongue-stimulating device (hypoglossal nerve stimulation) for obstructive sleep apnea can improve how the body handles blood sugar and lower heart risks. About 30 overweight or obese adults who cannot use a CPAP machine will wear a continuous glucose monitor and have their blood pressure tracked. The goal is to see if treating sleep apnea this way also helps with metabolism and heart health.
