Personalized tonsil surgery for sleep apnea in children with Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has Down syndrome
- Your child has moderate to severe sleep apnea confirmed by a sleep study (at least 5 events per hour)
- Your child is between 2 and 17 years old
- A caregiver age 18 or older can consent, and is the child’s main caregiver
- The caregiver can read, speak, and write English or Spanish
