First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether extra family support helps children with Down syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea use their positive airway pressure (PAP) machine more regularly. 27 children aged 6-18 were split into two groups: one received standard care, the other got a family-informed intervention. The main goal was to see how many nights they used PAP therapy over 6 months.
