Gut bacteria and sleep apnea in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in children’s bodies to learn more about sleep apnea. It could help doctors understand why some children have sleep problems and find better ways to treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.
This study looks at how a brain chemical called 5-HT7 affects sleep apnea by testing different groups: people with sleep apnea, people who snore, and healthy volunteers. It aims to find new ways to help regulate breathing during sleep.
This study looks at mouth and face features and sleep apnea in 6-month-old infants with Down syndrome. It may help doctors understand and treat sleep problems better.
This study surveys pediatric dentists to understand their knowledge and attitudes about obstructive sleep apnea in children. It does not test a treatment but helps identify where more education is needed.
This study looks at how sleep apnea is managed in children with Down syndrome. It aims to find better treatment approaches by reviewing data from kids who visited ear, nose, and throat (ENT) or sleep specialists in Strasbourg.
