Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an implantable treatment option for carefully selected adults with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea who are unable to use or tolerate PAP therapy.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an implantable treatment option for selected adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are unable to use or tolerate PAP therapy.
For appropriately selected patients, it may provide an alternative to nightly CPAP or other PAP therapy.
At Dallas Sleep Health, we provide comprehensive evaluations to determine whether an implantable treatment may be appropriate for you.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is not appropriate for everyone with sleep apnea.
In general, candidates have:
Eligibility for implantable sleep apnea treatments depends on your diagnosis, sleep apnea severity, medical history, anatomy, previous treatment experience, and other individual factors.
A comprehensive evaluation is needed to determine whether this type of treatment may be right for you.
Dallas Sleep Health evaluates patients who may be candidates for implantable sleep apnea treatments. Depending on the type of sleep apnea and individual circumstances, options may include Inspire and Genio for obstructive sleep apnea. For patients with central sleep apnea, remedē is a separate implantable nerve-stimulation treatment that may be considered when appropriate.

Dallas Sleep Health can evaluate your sleep apnea and help determine whether hypoglossal nerve stimulation or another implantable treatment may be an appropriate option for you.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is an implantable treatment option for selected adults with obstructive sleep apnea. The therapy stimulates the nerve controlling tongue movement to help maintain an open airway during sleep.
Eligibility depends on factors such as obstructive sleep apnea severity, difficulty using or tolerating PAP therapy, upper-airway anatomy, medical history, and the applicable device and insurance criteria.
For appropriately selected patients who cannot use or tolerate PAP therapy, hypoglossal nerve stimulation may provide an alternative. A comprehensive evaluation is required to determine eligibility.
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is intended for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea involves a different breathing mechanism and may require a different treatment approach.
Your sleep specialist can review your sleep study, diagnosis, treatment history, airway anatomy, and other medical factors to determine whether an implantable therapy should be considered.
