Pilot Study of Novel Nasopharyngeal Airway Device for Treating Upper Airway Obstruction in Pediatric Hypotonia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ssNPA for Sleep Apnea, Obstructive and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 2 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Children with hypotonic upper airway obstruction have a high prevalence of severe obstructive sleep apnea, which if not treated has significant clinical consequence. Available treatment approaches, such as surgery and positive airway pressure, show limited efficacy and adherence. The multidisciplinary team has developed and now proposes to further test a non-surgical, well-tolerated nasopharyngeal airway device that in initial patients has resolved even extremely severe obstructive sleep apnea, and improved patient and family quality of life.
