The hypoglossal nerve stimulator is a novel strategy for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.[1][2] It has been gaining popularity over the last few decades and was approved in Europe in 2013 and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2014.[3]
The purpose of the hypoglossal nerve stimulator is to relieve tongue base obstruction during sleep by stimulating the tongue to protrude during inspiration (i.e., inhale).[1]
