Laryngomalacia and breathing in children: before and after treatment study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is for children with laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box) who have noisy breathing and trouble breathing. It will check how they are doing before and after treatment, and follow up for one year to see how their quality of life improves.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box that can cause noisy breathing).
- Your child must have stridor (a high-pitched, noisy sound when breathing in).
- Your child must have breathing difficulties (like working hard to breathe or pauses in breathing).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a simple breathing technique (called a Valsalva maneuver) to see if it can prevent a common side effect called laryngospasm, where the voice box muscles spasm and block breathing, after surgery to fix a condition called laryngomalacia (a floppy voice box).
This trial looks at how well a specific throat surgery technique works in children who are having their tonsils removed (with or without removing adenoids). It may help improve how doctors choose and perform surgery for safer, better recovery.
This study looks at whether removing the tonsils and adenoids helps children with mild sleep apnea open their mouths wider and feel better overall.
This trial looks at how well non-invasive breathing machines help children with Down syndrome who have obstructive sleep apnea. It tracks their health and sleep over time to see if the treatment works and improves daily life.
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 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.
