Sleep position therapy for children with sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if changing sleep position (like avoiding sleeping on the back) can improve sleep apnea in children aged 6 to 17. It may be an option if your child has moderate to severe sleep apnea that gets worse when lying on their back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 17 years old.
- They must have moderate to severe sleep apnea (at least 5 breathing pauses per hour) that is worse when sleeping on their back.
- During the sleep study, your child spent at least 30 minutes sleeping on their back and 30 minutes in other positions.
- A parent or guardian must be able to give permission for the study.
- Your child cannot have certain other health issues like heart, lung, or nerve problems, or severe developmental delays.

This trial tests a type of mouth and throat therapy to see if it can help people with mild to moderate sleep apnea who can't or don't want to use a CPAP machine. It might be an option if you want a non-machine treatment for your sleep apnea.
This study tests a new proactive therapy for people recently diagnosed with moderate or severe sleep apnea. It aims to see how well patients stick with the treatment outside of a sleep lab.
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 tests whether new technologies, like a small wearable sensor, can accurately diagnose sleep apnea compared with the standard overnight sleep test. It may help people get easier, more convenient sleep apnea diagnosis.
This study tests a wearable sleep monitor (WatchPAT 400) in children and teens who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep test. It aims to see if the wearable device can reliably detect sleep problems as an easier alternative.
This study looks at different types of sleep apnea to find the best treatment for each person. If you are newly diagnosed and haven't tried CPAP yet, your participation could help doctors personalize therapy for better results.
