摘要：
A method of stimulating a hypogossal nerve including chronically implanting a nerve cuff electrode on a portion of the hypoglossal nerve. The method may further include sensing a signal corresponding to respiration and detecting expiratory onset from the sensed signal. Moreover, the method may include delivering a stimulus to the portion of the hypoglossal nerve via the nerve cuff electrode, wherein the stimulus is delivered as a function of the detected expiratory onset.
