Sleep scan study using computer models in people with Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses computer simulations to understand breathing airways and lung changes during sleep in people with Down syndrome. It may help researchers better interpret sleep MRI/CT scans and improve how sleep apnea (OSA) is studied in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Down syndrome and you are having a sleep MRI or CT scan at CCHMC
- You will have both types of sleep tests (Sleep MRI and CT scan)
- Your weight and body size must fit safely in the MRI scanner limits
- You do not have a pacemaker or any other device that is not safe for MRI
- You do not have large dental hardware that would block the scan area

This trial looks at whether physical activity can help improve sleep apnea in people with Down syndrome. It aims to find better ways to manage breathing problems during sleep.
This study tests whether oxygen therapy can help children with Down syndrome who have sleep apnea. It compares oxygen treatment to no treatment to see if it improves breathing during sleep and thinking skills.
This study looks at how sleep apnea is managed in children with Down syndrome. It aims to find better treatment approaches by reviewing data from kids who visited ear, nose, and throat (ENT) or sleep specialists in Strasbourg.
This trial looks at how well non-invasive breathing machines help children with Down syndrome who have obstructive sleep apnea. It tracks their health and sleep over time to see if the treatment works and improves daily life.
