Area of Science:

  • Neuromodulation
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects millions globally, with limited treatment options.
  • Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) has shown potential for OSA treatment.
  • Previous TES approaches during sleep yielded inconsistent results.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the safety, practicability, and efficacy of the SilentOne device for TES in OSA patients.
  • To assess the impact of daily, continuous TES on respiratory parameters and sleep quality.

Summary:

  • Fifteen OSA patients underwent 4-5 weeks of daily, continuous transcutaneous submental electrical stimulation with the SilentOne device.
  • The apnea-hypopnea index decreased significantly (29.2 to 21.2, P<0.05).

  • Daytime sleepiness and snoring also showed significant improvements (P<0.01 and P<0.005, respectively).

    • Impact:

    • SilentOne TES therapy is a safe, user-friendly, and potent treatment for OSA.
    • The therapy demonstrates significant symptom reduction but a limited cure rate.
    • This study highlights a promising, non-invasive approach for managing OSA symptoms.
