Diagnosing sleep apnea in children with a home breathing test
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simpler home breathing test (respiratory polygraphy) can accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in children who are suspected of having it. It may help avoid the need for a more complex sleep study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Your child is able to complete a sleep breathing test that gives clear results.

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 looks at how insomnia affects how well children and teenagers use their breathing mask (PAP therapy) for sleep apnea. It aims to find ways to help kids stick with their treatment.
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 compares a home sleep test to a hospital sleep test for diagnosing sleep apnea. If you have symptoms of sleep apnea, you may be able to do the test at home instead of going to the hospital.
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.
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.
