Finding new ways to improve comfort and care
At Children’s, we focus on research and innovations that make a difference at the bedside. From improving day-to-day quality of life for children and teens, to developing new pain management approaches and adopting cutting-edge technologies, our research is completely kid and family-focused.
Children’s is engaged in many types of research, including investigator-initiated studies (led by a Children’s clinician), as well as externally sponsored multicenter trials, observational studies and registries.
Research studies are ongoing in all areas of the hospital and clinics, including these related to pediatric sleep disorders:
- Iron supplementation and probiotics in the treatment of restless leg syndrome
- Sleep patterns in children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
- Management of sleep in children being treated for brain tumors
- Blue Blocker Glasses in management of insomnia
We share our outcomes with you
Choosing where to bring your child for care is a major decision. We understand you want all the information you can get. And you want it in a clear, straightforward form that helps you make the right choice for your family.
That’s why we share our outcomes with you. In medicine, “outcomes” measure the end results of a treatment. By comparing our outcomes with those of other hospitals, locally and nationally, you can see how we rank in terms of keeping patients safe and healthy.
