NCT ID NCT04971850
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 1,200 children and young adults (ages 1-20) with suspected sleep-disordered breathing to see if their sleep test results match up with problems in thinking, mood, and behavior. Participants will complete sleep studies, questionnaires, and thinking tests. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and understand sleep breathing issues in young people.
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 study could help doctors better identify which children with sleep-disordered breathing need treatment by linking sleep test results to thinking and mood problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve health. The results may show weak or no links between sleep breathing and brain function.
