Abstract
Systems and apparatus for treating obstructive sleep apnea comprise an external generator and an implantable stimulator. The implantable stimulator includes an electrode which is placed in a target muscle or nerve which when stimulated will alleviate the symptoms of sleep apnea. The generator produces a radiofrequency or microwave signal which is broadcast to an antenna within the implanted stimulator. The implanted stimulator produces a stimulatory output, preferably without any other energy source.
