ABSTRACT
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) has increasingly become an alternative therapy for obstructive sleep apnea patients with CPAP intolerance. Stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve during sleep enhances airway patency and alleviates collapse. Suboptimal responses to HNS often stem from insufficient palatal coupling and residual velar collapse. Combining palatal devices, such as Velumount®, with HNS represents a simple and cost-effective strategy to treat residual palatal collapse. Patients desiring conservative treatment for residual palatal obstruction under HNS may consider this combined approach. Laryngoscope, 1343412-3414, 2024.
