Improvements in patient-reported outcomes after neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy for snoring and mild sleep apnea

Objectives: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) offers alternative options to patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) unable to tolerate first line treatment. Randomized controlled trial data suggest efficacy of NMES treatment in improving OSA outcomes, snoring and sleepiness; however, no study to our knowledge has examined the effects on a range of daytime patient reported outcomes in a large real-world sample.
