A total of 106 patients were included. All the studies showed that patients receiving hypoglossal nerve stimulation experienced a significant decrease in apnea-hypopnea index (at least 50%). The pooled AHI was significantly lower in patients following treatment (mean AHI reduction 17.43 events\/h, 95% confidence interval 13.98\u201320.88 events\/h,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001) after 2 case reports were excluded.
