| Abstract: |
This article discusses a pilot study that examined changes in snoring patterns during hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HNS) therapy. The study found that snoring decreased by 30-50% within the first 5 months of therapy, and this reduction was associated with increases in HNS stimulation amplitudes. Some patients continued to experience a decline in snoring even with stable HNS settings. The study also emphasizes the need for multiple nights of measurement to accurately assess snoring improvements and suggests that a smartphone application for snore tracking could be a useful supplement to traditional sleep testing measures.
