Breathing after tonsil surgery in children with sleep apnea
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for a tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- A sleep study (polysomnography) was done within the year before surgery.
- The surgery is only for treating sleep apnea, not other issues.

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 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 compares two types of tonsil surgery to see which works better for adults with obstructive sleep apnea caused by large tonsils. It may help you breathe better during sleep.
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 uses a special camera during sleep to see if the tongue is blocking the airway in children with sleep-disordered breathing. It may help doctors better understand why some children still have trouble breathing after tonsil surgery.
This study looks at patients who had jaw surgery for obstructive sleep apnea and then developed central sleep apnea (where the brain doesn't send the right signals to breathe) after surgery. It aims to understand how these breathing problems change over time, which could help improve future care.
