A Pilot Study to Assess Transmembrane Electromyography (TM-EMG) for the Assessment of Neuromuscular Function in the Oropharynx
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Transmembrane EMG Oropharynx Probe for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a pilot study to examine the diagnostic utility of a novel transmembrane surface sensor, and compare signals obtained with the transmembrane sensor to conventional needle EMG signals from healthy volunteers to those with documented neurologic pharyngeal muscle dysfunction (ALS and muscular dystrophy) and to those with severe OSA.

Timeline
Interventions
Examination of the electromyographic signal from oropharyngeal muscles obtained using an investigational transmembrane sensor attached to a rigid probe and an FDA-approved very fine concentric needle electrode (Ambu Neuroline 25 mm x 30G).
