Simpler sleep test for children's sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simpler sleep test (respiratory polygraphy) can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children. If your child has symptoms like loud snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep, this study might help confirm the diagnosis so they can get the right treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is suspected to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which means pauses in breathing during sleep.
- A sleep study (called polysomnography) must have been done and the results were clear enough to read.
- Your child must be able to have a sleep study – usually at a hospital or sleep clinic.
- Your child must be a child (under 18 years old) – the trial is for children only.

This trial tests whether home sleep testing can help diagnose sleep apnea in children. It is for kids who are already being referred for an in-lab sleep study at CHOP.
This study helps parents of children with sleep-related breathing problems (like snoring or pauses in breathing) who have been referred to a specialist. It offers support and guidance over 12 months to make it easier to get the care your child needs.
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 looks at the tongue in children aged 4 to 17 who have sleep-disordered breathing (like snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep). The goal is to understand how the tongue might be related to these sleep problems, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests if video clips recorded at home can help diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children, possibly reducing the need for an overnight hospital sleep test. It may be a good fit if your child is between 2 and 18 years old, has been referred for a sleep study, and you have a smartphone or tablet.
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
