SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImThera Medical, Inc. today announced that results from the first single-center study of targeted hypoglossal neurostimulation (THN) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) will appear in an upcoming print edition of the European Respiratory Journal. The study, conducted at Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium and sponsored by ImThera, followed thirteen patients with moderate to severe OSA who were implanted with the ImThera aura6000™ System for at least one year. It was found that the aura6000™ improved the conditions of patients with obstructive sleep apnea and it was neither painful nor did it awaken patients.
