- Question
Evidence on the safety and efficacy of daytime intraoral neuromuscular electrical tongue stimulation using a removable device for obstructive sleep apnoea is inadequate in quality and quantity. So, this procedure should be used only in research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Further research should include suitably powered randomised controlled trials and analysis of observational data, to assess efficacy, safety and adherence. Research should report details of patient selection, duration of treatment and effect, effect on snoring and sleep apnoea, quality of life and complications.
