Evaluation of the Effects of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation in Humans With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Brief Summary

This proof-of-concept study is being performed to evaluate whether the hypoglossal nerve can be stimulated using a small series of electrodes placed surgically via a percutaneous approach. Minimally invasive off the shelf medical devices will be used and observation of the characteristic physiological responses to stimulation of the HGN, will be assessed.
