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 tests jaw advancement surgery for people with obstructive sleep apnea who haven't been helped by CPAP or mouthpieces. It looks at whether moving the jaw forward can improve breathing during sleep.
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.
This study looks at whether removing tonsils and adenoids can help improve spine curves in children who have mild sleep-disordered breathing. It may help prevent scoliosis from getting worse.
This study tests a personalized surgical approach for children with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils. The goal is to see if tailored surgery improves their breathing during sleep and overall health.
This study uses a lab method called single-cell sequencing to look at tiny cells from tonsil tissue in children. It compares children with obstructive sleep apnea to children without it, to better understand what’s happening in the throat and how it may relate to needing tonsil removal.
