Inferior Turbinate Reduction in Pediatric Population Failing Surgery for Sleep Disordered Breathing
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Sleep Related Breathing Disorder, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome, Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In brief
This study will examine whether treatment of inferior turbinates in patients with continued symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related breathing disorder, snoring, disturbed sleeping, open mouth breathing, and upper airway resistance syndrome after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy will improve these symptoms and should be included in the treatment paradigm for treatment of sleep related breathing disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.
