Central sleep apnea due to periodic breathing

Extremely preterm infants often have breathing issues that current monitors may miss. This study tests a wireless acoustic sensor placed on the baby's throat to more accurately detect pauses, shallow breaths, and irregular patterns. Researchers will compare the sensor to standard…

This study tests a smart mask that uses AI to detect sleep stages and breathing-related arousals in adults with sleep apnea. About 150 participants will wear the mask during an overnight sleep study, and its results will be compared to standard lab tests. If accurate, the mask co…

This study tests whether a drug called gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) can help intensive care patients get better deep sleep. Sleep problems are very common in the ICU and can lead to serious issues like confusion and longer recovery. The trial will give GHB or a placebo to 24 adult…

This study tests a slow-release melatonin (PedPRM) in 120 children aged 6 to 18 who have anorexia nervosa and trouble sleeping. Participants take either melatonin or a placebo for 13 weeks. The goal is to see if it safely improves total sleep time and related symptoms like anxiet…

This study looks at whether adding sleep-focused treatments to standard psychiatric care can reduce suicide risk in young adults. About 90 college students with suicidal thoughts and sleep problems will be randomly assigned to one of three sleep interventions. Researchers will tr…

This study looks at whether watching cartoons or listening to breath-synchronized interactive stories can help children aged 6-9 feel less afraid and more comfortable while using a nebulizer for breathing medication. About 96 children with respiratory conditions will be randomly …

This study tests if applying cold (cryotherapy) to the wrist before a blood draw from the artery can reduce pain. It involves 258 adults with chronic respiratory diseases who need this test. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to make the procedure less painful.

This study tests whether a nerve block (injecting numbing medicine near the cheekbone) can control pain after tonsillectomy in children aged 3-9, reducing the need for opioids. Sixty kids having tonsil surgery for sleep apnea will be randomly assigned to get either the nerve bloc…
