All specialties →Hypoglossal nerve stimulation
An implanted stimulator for obstructive sleep apnoea.
Key point: In France, hypoglossal nerve stimulation is indicated for non-obese moderate-to-severe OSAHS patients with CPAP or MAD failure or contraindications after mandatory DISE.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus mechanisms and treatments, including neuromodulation.
Cochlear implants
Cochlear implantation, including in older adults and single-sided deafness.
Key point: Cochlear implant indications now include profound unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral deafness, or residual hearing, determined individually for each ear.
HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer
HPV-related throat cancer and treatment de-escalation.
Transoral robotic surgery
Robotic surgery through the mouth for head and neck tumours.
Key point: In predominantly HPV-associated OPSCC treated with TORS, smoking history showed no significant difference in recurrence-free or disease-specific survival.
Eustachian tube balloon dilation
Balloon dilation for Eustachian tube dysfunction.
Key point: BDET may improve functional and audiological outcomes in pediatric ETD, but comparative evidence does not confirm superiority over standard management.

How these numbers are counted
PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:
"olfactory dysfunction"[tiab] OR anosmia[tiab] OR "smell loss"[tiab]Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
