Brief summary

The development of the medical device tested was inspired by palatal plates used to treat myofunctional disorders in young patients with Down syndrome. This protocol is intended to evaluate the acceptability and tolerance of this pacifier in infants aged 1 to 6 months during 4 test. If acceptability and tolerance are satisfactory, an effectiveness study will be carried out to determine whether this medical device could prove useful in preventing the occurrence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) in very young children, via orofacial myofunctional rehabilitation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
assess the acceptability of the pacifier in the mouth while awakeDay 1 inclusioncumulative time during which the pacifier is kept in the mouth over three 15-minute sessions of awake testing. The pacifier will be judged as accepted if at least 15 minutes of pacifier in the mouth are accumulated over the 3 tests carried out.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the attitude of infants when taking the pacifier in the mouthDay 1 inclusionpresence of grimaces when offering the pacifier in the mouth or non-nutritive sucking behavior during each test
Evaluate whether the pacifier is held in the mouth while awakeDay 1 inclusionNumber of times the child rejects the pacifier and the maximum duration of uninterrupted hold in the mouth during the 15 minutes of each test
Evaluate how well the pacifier stays in the mouth during sleepDay 1 inclusion, during the nightTime during which the pacifier is kept in the mouth during sleep until spontaneous rejection, measured from a video recording, correlated to the parameters recorded by polysomnography (sleep efficiency, apnea-hypopnea index, number of microphones -arousals, total sleep time and sleep latency).
Assessment of the safety of the pacifier in infantsDay 1 inclusionRecording of any adverse events
