Examining the impact of laryngomalacia on children's quality of life before and after treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on children diagnosed with laryngomalacia, a common cause of stridor and breathing difficulties in infants. It aims to assess the impact of this condition on the quality of life of affected children before and after treatment, including surgical intervention if necessary. The study will utilize sleep examinations, such as polygraphy and polysomnography, to determine which children may benefit from surgery. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 4-6 weeks and again after one year to evaluate outcomes.
