Tool to help decisions for mild sleep apnea in kids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at OSA-18, a questionnaire that may help families and clinicians make better decisions about treatment for a child’s mild sleep apnea. It specifically focuses on children with enlarged tonsils and mild sleep study results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 3 to 12 years old
- Your child was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea on a sleep study, with AHI between 1 and 5
- Your child has enlarged tonsils, grade 2 or higher (confirmed by a doctor)
- You are a parent or caregiver willing to answer the study questions for your child
- Your child has not had tonsil removal (tonsillectomy) before

This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
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.
This trial studies how to improve outcomes for children who still have obstructive sleep apnea after having their tonsils and adenoids removed. It uses computer modeling (based on breathing/airflow) and may include a special breathing gas during testing in some parts of the study.
This study compares two types of tonsil surgery (full removal vs. partial removal) to see which works better for treating obstructive sleep apnea in adults with enlarged tonsils.
This study is testing a French questionnaire (OSA-18) to see if it helps screen for sleep apnea in kids. It may lead to easier detection of breathing problems during sleep.
This study compares two different exercises (called oral reeducation) to see which works better for children who still have breathing problems during sleep even after getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It helps kids breathe easier at night.
