ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a common condition in infants called laryngomalacia, which can cause noisy breathing (stridor) and sometimes leads to breathing difficulties and sleep problems. The researchers want to find out if special sleep tests can help identify which children might benefit from surgery to improve their breathing. They will follow up with the children after a few weeks and again after a year to see how they are doing.

Eligible participants are children aged 7 days to 1 year who have laryngomalacia, show stridor, and have breathing difficulties. There are no exclusions based on other health conditions. If your child participates, they will undergo sleep examinations at home, and their quality of life will be assessed through a simple questionnaire. This study aims to use new technology, including artificial intelligence, to better understand the condition and its effects on children’s lives.
