Obstructive sleep apnea in children and a narrow upper jaw.

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 interventional study compares children with a transverse maxillary deficiency to children with other orthodontic issues to explore a possible causal link with obstructive sleep apnea. Eligible participants aged 6–16 will undergo an overnight ventilatory polysomnograph test to document sleep-disordered breathing. Groups are defined by orthodontic presentation (transverse deficiency versus other malocclusions) and clinical/polysomnographic criteria will be used for diagnosis. The work is conducted at the oral and cranio-maxillofacial orthopedics service in Rouen and requires parental consent for participation.
