“…Electrical stimulation has also been applied to the muscles of the tongue to cause muscle contraction and increase strength and fatigue resistance and has been shown to reduce time spent snoring [175]. Daytime electrical stimulation of muscles while seated has been shown to reduce leg fluid, decrease the sleep-related fluid shift from the legs to the neck and reduce snoring, presumably by mucosal water content in the peripharyngeal tissues, thereby decreasing pressure applied to the pharynx and decreasing airway narrowing and collapsibility [176]. Finally, a recent electrophysiology experiment in a single participant with OSA reported that neurostimulation of the ansa cervicalis branch innervating the sternothyroid muscle can increase inspiratory airflow and retropalatal area during sedation, presumably by increasing tracheal traction and decreasing pharyngeal collapsibility [177].…”

“…In patients with high volume states [43–47], increased neck volume due to rostral fluid shift) may contribute to OSA pathogenesis [48]. Although fluid overload indirectly affects upper airway collapsibility by increasing tissue pressure [48–50], it was recently hypothesized in animal model that fluid overload can also contribute to OSA pathogenesis by reducing genioglossus activity [51].…”
