New Treatment Option

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator

Johns Hopkins Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery’s specialists are now available to implant an FDA-approved hypoglossal nerve stimulator as a new treatment strategy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

hypoglossal nerve stimulator
    • It is a device that delivers upper airway stimulation
      synchronized to your breathing to relieve obstruction
      during sleep.
    • It is inserted during an outpatient procedure.
    • You control the device using a hand-held sleep remote.
  • Hypoglossal nerve simulation surgery offers an innovative neuro-stimulatory approach to relieving upper airway obstruction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. This device can relieve sleep apnea without need to surgically remove obstructive tissue in or around your airway.  Additionally, hypoglossal nerve stimulation can be used to safely monitor users with DOT or commercial drivers licenses.

  • Medicare and most insurance plans cover this FDA-approved treatment.

    • Have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (AHI 15-65 with <25% central and mixed apnea).
    • Are intolerant of, or unable to get consistent benefit from, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
    • Are not significantly obese (BMI < 35)
    • Are at least 18 years of age
