Endoscopy and sleep test guided surgery for kids with sleep breathing problems
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a camera to see inside children's airways during sleep and then guides surgery to improve breathing. It aims to find the best treatment for kids with sleep-disordered breathing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 uses ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement in children with sleep apnea during routine surgery. It may help doctors better understand how sleep apnea affects breathing.
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.
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 uses a special camera during sleep to see if the tongue is blocking the airway in children with sleep-disordered breathing. It may help doctors better understand why some children still have trouble breathing after tonsil surgery.
This Phase 2 study compares two medicines used to help children sleep during a procedure called drug-induced sleep endoscopy. It’s for children with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated before adenotonsillectomy, to help surgeons understand the cause of the blockage and potentially improve treatment planning.
