Do current sleepiness tests work for kids? a new study puts them to the test
NCT ID NCT07766343
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study evaluates whether several sleepiness questionnaires are reliable for children and adolescents aged 6 to 17. It includes three groups: children from the general population, those with sleep disorders or conditions like narcolepsy or ADHD, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if these tools can accurately measure daytime sleepiness and help identify sleep problems in young people.

- Active substance
- Diagnostic questionnaires and sleep monitoring procedures (polysomnography, actimetry)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better screening tools for sleep disorders in children, helping doctors identify conditions like narcolepsy earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The questionnaires may not prove accurate across all groups, and results may not apply beyond the studied population.
