Clinical Trial: Changes in Polysomnography and Rhinomanometry Parameters After Rapid Maxillary Expansion or Adenotonsilectomy in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

U.S., July 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07069543) titled 'Changes in Polysomnography and Rhinomanometry Parameters After Rapid Maxillary Expansion or Adenotonsilectomy in Children With Obstructive Sleep Apnea' on June 02.

Brief Summary: Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is considered the most effective and the standard treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children. Since maxillary hypoplasia is a risk factor for OSA, Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) has been be considered as a complementary treatment in selected cases,improving the OSA. To compare changes in polysomnography (PSG) and in anterior active rhinomanometry (AAR) in children diagnosed with OSA, treated with RME or AT.
