Abstract: Neuromodulation of cranial nerves can be used to treat sleep or breathing disorders, among other diseases and disorders. A neuromodulation system can include a housing configured for implantation in an anterior Cervical region of a patient, such as at or under a mandible of the patient, such as at least partially in one or mote of a submental triangle, a submandibular triangle, and a carotid triangle. The system can include an electrode lead coupled to the housing, and the electrode lead can include an electrode configured to be disposed at or near a cranial nerve target in the patient. The system can be configured to generate electrical neuromodulation signals for delivery to the cranial nerve target using the electrode.

Abstract: An implantable neuromodulation system can include an electrode configured to be disposed at or near a first branch of a hypoglossal nerve of a patient and configured to provide a first electrostimulation therapy to treat a sleep disorder or breathing disorder of a patient. The system can include a sensor configured to provide a sensor signal that includes information about a patient response to the first electrostimulation therapy. The patient response can include at least one of an acoustic profile of an airway of the patient, a change in a position of a tongue of the patient, and information about an evoked compound action potential (ECAP) of a portion of the hypoglossal nerve. In an example, a processor circuit can use information from the sensor signal to select a subsequent electrostimulation therapy to treat the sleep disorder or breathing disorder of the patient.
