Down syndrome and sleep apnea study in infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at mouth and face features and sleep apnea in 6-month-old infants with Down syndrome. It may help doctors understand and treat sleep problems better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a special pacifier called CURAPROX can improve sleep-related breathing problems in babies with Down syndrome. It compares two groups of infants — one using the pacifier and one not — to see if the pacifier helps with sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep).
This study looks at how sleep apnea is managed in children with Down syndrome. It aims to find better treatment approaches by reviewing data from kids who visited ear, nose, and throat (ENT) or sleep specialists in Strasbourg.
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 study tests whether oxygen therapy can help children with Down syndrome who have sleep apnea. It compares oxygen treatment to no treatment to see if it improves breathing during sleep and thinking skills.
This study tests whether a personalized surgical approach can treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children with Down syndrome. The goal is to improve breathing during sleep and overall sleep health.
This study tests a sleep intervention to improve quality of life for people with Down syndrome who have trouble sleeping. A caregiver will help track sleep and take part in activities to improve sleep habits.
