NCT ID NCT04991389
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a computer tool that uses MRI scans to predict which surgery will work best for children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). About 120 children with persistent OSA after tonsil and adenoid removal will be enrolled. The tool simulates airflow in the airway to help doctors choose the most effective surgical option.
