What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence model can assess the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in children using noninvasive sensors instead of a standard sleep study. Researchers will compare signals from a fingertip pulse oximeter, pressure-sensing mattresses, and millimeter-wave radar against the apnea-hypopnea index from a clinical sleep test. The study enrolls 50 children referred for polysomnography due to suspected sleep apnea. If the model proves accurate, it could offer a more comfortable and accessible way to diagnose and monitor pediatric sleep apnea.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A combination of noninvasive monitoring devices: a fingertip pulse oximeter, pressure-sensing mattresses, and millimeter-wave radar
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a simpler, more comfortable way to assess sleep apnea severity in children, potentially reducing the need for overnight sleep lab stays.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, and the model may not prove accurate enough to replace standard sleep studies. The devices also need to work reliably in children who may move during sleep.
