Beyond the genioglossus muscle, our findings demonstrate recruitment of other muscles during hypoglossal nerve stimulation, which may be attributed to the electrical stimulation of the nerve trunk. This data provides new insights on how stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve trunk may contribute to obstructive sleep apnea treatment.
