Abstract: Neuromodulation devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. Various embodiments of the present technology relate to devices, systems, and methods for delivering electrical energy to a hypoglossal nerve of a patient. According to some embodiments, the present technology includes an implantable neuromodulation device comprising an electronics package, a branched lead body, and an extension portion between the electronics package and lead body. The lead body can comprise a first arm with first conductive elements and a second arm with second conductive elements. The lead body can be configured to be positioned between a patient's genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles such that the first arm and first conductive elements are positioned proximate one of the patient's hypoglossal nerves and the second arm and second conductive elements are positioned proximate a contralateral one of the patient's hypoglossal nerves.
