Muscle Stimulation During DISE
Sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Summary
Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is a widely used tool for assessing collapse patterns of the upper airway anatomy during sleep. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy for obstructive sleep apnea suffers from variable response at the level of the soft palate. We propose a study examining the physiologic effect of palatoglossus and genioglossus muscle stimulation during DISE.

Grass S88 Muscle Stimulator
The Grass S88 nerve and muscle stimulator is a widely-used tool in electromyography and nerve conduction studies. Under anesthesia, fine-wire electrodes will be placed into the right genioglossus muscle (in the floor of the mouth) and the right palatoglossus muscle (in the anterior tonsillar pillar).
