Effects of Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation on Upper Airway Structure and Function Using Moving Wall Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations: A Pilot Study

ABSTRACT Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) is an innovative alternative treatment option for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in patients unable to tolerate continuous positive airway pressure. However, the success rate of HGNS is variable, but the reasons underlying variation in treatment efficacy...
