NCT ID NCT07337239
First seen Jan 14, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looks at how a device that stimulates a nerve in the tongue (hypoglossal nerve stimulation) changes how easily the upper airway collapses in people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will measure airway collapsibility during a sleep endoscopy before and after the device is turned on. The goal is to better understand how the therapy works, which could help doctors tailor treatment to each patient in the future. About 21 adults already using this therapy will take part.
