Home sleep testing for children being checked for sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether home sleep testing can help diagnose sleep apnea in children. It is for kids who are already being referred for an in-lab sleep study at CHOP.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child age 5 to 12 years old
- Be referred to the CHOP Sleep Laboratory for a sleep apnea check (in usual care)
- Have a parent or guardian who can give permission, and the child agrees if needed
- Have not had a sleep study (PSG) recently: less than 3 years ago if you do not have Down syndrome
- If you do have Down syndrome, your sleep study must be more than 1 year ago
- Do not need extra oxygen or special breathing support during sleep, and do not have a tracheostomy

This study tests whether a simpler sleep test (respiratory polygraphy) can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. If your child has symptoms like loud snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep, this study might help confirm the diagnosis so they can get the right treatment.
This study looks at how insomnia affects how well children and teenagers use their breathing mask (PAP therapy) for sleep apnea. It aims to find ways to help kids stick with their treatment.
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
This study tests a wearable sleep monitor (WatchPAT 400) in children and teens who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep test. It aims to see if the wearable device can reliably detect sleep problems as an easier alternative.
This study tests a new computer algorithm (called BodySleep) that analyzes sleep data to help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. It aims to make diagnosis faster and easier for kids who are already scheduled for a sleep study.
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.
