Summary
This early study tested if a small electrode placed near a nerve in the neck could help people with obstructive sleep apnea. 14 participants had the device temporarily placed during a procedure. The main goal was to see if the nerve could be safely reached and stimulated to move the tongue, not to treat the condition long-term.
