Tongue nerve zap may unlock personalized sleep apnea treatment
NCT ID NCT07337239
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a device that stimulates a nerve in the tongue changes the way the upper airway collapses in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will measure airway collapsibility during a sleep endoscopy in 21 adults already using the therapy. The goal is to better understand how the treatment works, which could lead to more personalized care in the future.
