Pacifier study for infants with Down syndrome and sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be about 1 month old (give or take a week).
- Your baby must have a diagnosis of full Down syndrome (not mosaic form).
- Your baby must be born at least 37 weeks into the pregnancy (not premature).
- Your baby cannot have a known allergy to silicone.
- You and the other parent must agree to join the study.
- If your baby is not using the test pacifier, they must be part of the other study (OMF21) and you agree to share their data.

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.
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 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 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 wearable sleep monitor (WatchPAT 400) in children and teens who are already scheduled for an overnight sleep test. It aims to see if the wearable device can reliably detect sleep problems as an easier alternative.
