I actually don't know anything about the trials. I was saying that since I've had an MMA and my own surgeon mentioned the pacemaker as a possible future option, this implies there's a potential benefit in using it after an MMA.

I think he's working in the Star trial, we can't name names here but he's on one of the Palo Alto, CA teams, Dr. S., a very talented young doctor working with Drs, P and R. whom everyone here knows.

Is the idea that the device keeps the tongue in an "alert" state so it does not relax during sleep? I wonder if it would lose response to the device over time.

Do tongues need sleep? :)
