Clinical Trial: Intraoperative Ansa Cervicalis Nerve (ACN) Stimulation

Study Status: Completed

Recruit Status: RECRUITING

Condition: Head and Neck Cancer

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL


Official Title: Intraoperative Identification and Stimulation of the Ansa Cervicalis Nerve Plexus

Brief Summary: Recently published data suggest that stimulation of the infrahyoid strap muscles increases pharyngeal patency in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but the innervation of these muscles by the ansa cervicalis is variable.The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the ansa cervicalis and the effect of neurostimulation on muscle recruitment.
