Tongue Motor Functions Assessment as a Screening Tool for Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children
This study investigates the hypothesis that, in children, tongue motor functions can predict both the anatomical site and the degree of upper airway obstruction contributing to obstructive sleep-disordered breathing.
Inclusion: Age between 4 and 17 years old; Medical diagnosis of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing requiring surgical removal of tonsils (partial or total) and/or adenoids, excluding type III (e.g., linked to a neurological comorbidity); Positive Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (8 or more positive responses); Eligibility for surgical intervention.
Exclusion: Previous surgery of the upper airway or oral cavity; History of or current head or neck cancer; Cranial, upper airway, or oral cavity malformation; Contraindication to performing the assessments.
