Summary
This early study tested if a small electrode placed near the nerve that controls tongue movement could help people with obstructive sleep apnea. 14 adults who could not use standard CPAP machines took part. The main goal was to see if the nerve could be safely reached and stimulated, not to measure long-term treatment effects.
