Early Dental Screening for Sleep Problems in Kids
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a smartphone app and a wearable device to check for early signs of sleep-disordered breathing—a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep—in children ages 8–13. The goal is to catch dental and jaw problems that might lead to sleep issues before they become serious.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 and 13 years old
- Your child is in generally good health (ASA Class I or II, meaning no serious medical conditions or only minor ones)
- Your family can read and understand English or Spanish
- Your child can agree to participate and you can give permission as parent/guardian
- You have a smartphone that can download and use the study's wearable monitoring app
- Your child has never been diagnosed with sleep apnea or 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.
This study tests new ways to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. If you haven't been diagnosed with sleep apnea and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.
This study tests a wearable device that can help monitor breathing and sleep in children. It compares children with sleep apnea to children without sleep apnea using a simple nighttime monitoring approach.
This study looks at how narrow upper jaws (maxillary constriction) relate to sleep apnea in children with mixed teeth. It aims to understand if dental problems affect breathing during sleep and guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app (Apneal®) can accurately diagnose sleep apnea during a routine sleep study. If you are already going to have a sleep study, you may be able to help test this device.
