Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea | David’s Story

David’s obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) left him unable to sleep well at night and he would fall asleep during the day, which impacted his work, his day-to-day functioning and his ability to enjoy life. Continuous positive airflow pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment for OSA, did not work for David, so he sought care from sleep surgeon Kevin Motz, who offers hypoglossal nerve stimulation, a novel OSA therapy for patients intolerant of CPAP. After receiving the therapy, David now sleeps soundly through the night and is able to tackle each day after a good night’s rest. #SleepApnea #JohnsHopkins #HypoglossalNerveStimulation
