DREAM Trial Summary

This trial will test a new device to treat sleep apnea. The device stimulates the nerves that control the tongue to keep the airway open during sleep.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who haven't had success with or can't tolerate positive airway pressure treatments. Participants should have a certain body mass index (BMI) and be able to give informed consent. Those with other untreated sleep disorders or conditions that make surgery or anesthesia risky cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Genio system, which stimulates both sides of the hypoglossal nerve as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It's conducted across multiple centers where participants will receive this new intervention.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, similar nerve stimulation devices may cause discomfort at the implant site, changes in tongue movement, throat sensations, or speech changes. General risks associated with surgery and anesthesia also apply.
