Larger AHI reductions in nOSA patients may indicate greater therapeutic effect for non\u2010positional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Combining HGNS with positional therapy or other strategies to minimize supine sleep time may help enhance outcomes in this subgroup. Further research is needed to explore factors influencing residual AHI in sOSA patients and refine treatment approaches for optimal results.<\/jats:p>\n
