What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is testing whether short video clips recorded by parents on their smartphones can help screen for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. OSA affects 1-4% of kids and can lead to serious health issues if untreated, but getting a sleep study is often difficult. Researchers will compare the accuracy of these video clips against standard sleep studies in 625 children referred for testing, aiming to see if videos can prioritize those who need a sleep study most.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
parent-recorded smartphone video clips
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, widely available screening tool to identify children at highest risk for moderate-severe OSA, allowing earlier diagnosis and treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a diagnostic accuracy study, not a treatment trial. The video clips may not be accurate enough to replace standard sleep studies, and results may vary across different settings.
