This study is looking at how the immune system changes over time in people with Down syndrome, and how it may be affected by removal of the thymus gland. The goal is to understand why people with Down syndrome may age faster or have different immune health.
This trial studies whether rebound therapy—exercises on a trampoline—can improve breathing and lung function in children with Down syndrome. It might help your child breathe better and stay active.
This study looks at the nutritional status of children with Down syndrome between the ages of 2 and 5. It aims to understand their nutritional health to help improve care.
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 trial tests whether a special low-intensity laser treatment can help boost the immune system and fight pneumonia in children with Down syndrome. Researchers want to see if this approach might help children recover better from their first pneumonia infection.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune markers relate to respiratory infections in children. It may help doctors understand why some children get sick more often and could lead to better treatments.
