Intraoperative Identification and Stimulation of the Glossopharyngeal Nerve

NCT05754216 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2025-10-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Published data suggest that the glossopharyngeal nerve innervates pharyngeal musculature important for maintenance of upper airway patency. The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the glossopharyngeal nerve and the effect of electrical stimulation on muscle recruitment and upper airway patency.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Nerve stimulation using nerve stimulation device and sterile wire electrode.

A nerve stimulator device will be used in this study as a research tool to investigate whether a future (currently nonexistent) medical device might be able to stimulate desired pharyngeal musculature in a therapeutic manner.
