First seen Jun 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early study tested whether a small electrode placed near the nerve that controls tongue movement could help people with obstructive sleep apnea. Fourteen adults who already needed surgery took part. The main goal was to see if the approach was safe and could make the tongue stick out, which might keep the airway open during sleep.
