Oxygen therapy for sleep apnea in Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
