NCT ID NCT07195253
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at 30 six-month-old infants with Down syndrome to see if their sucking patterns are linked to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Researchers will measure sucking bursts and compare them to sleep study results. The goal is to find a simple way to screen for OSA early, potentially using a special pacifier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to simple, non-invasive screening tools for sleep apnea in infants with Down syndrome, using sucking patterns.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (30 infants) that only looks for relationships, not treatments. Results may not apply to all infants or lead to a proven screening method.
