Dr. Amine has a special interest in the treatment of Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Insomnia (Difficulty Sleeping)in Children and Adolescents. His medical expertise also extends to management of disorders of control of breathing with both non-invasive and invasive ventilation.
In FUH Pediatric Sleep Clinic, we manage children from birth to age 18 years with various sleep concerns including snoring, breathing problems or apneas in sleep, parasomnias (night terrors, sleep walking, … ), excessive sleepiness and narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, insomnia or difficulty sleeping… In our Pediatric Sleep Clinic, Dr. Amine can also help recognize when your child’s particular sleep can be considered developmentally appropriate (within normal for age), and when further evaluation is needed.
After a clinical evaluation, we develop together a sleep care plan for your child. This sleep care plan can include diagnostic testing such as a sleep study, strategic behavioral changes, referral to various specialties such as ENT and clinical follow-ups.
The conditions managed at FUH’s Pediatric Sleep Clinic include:
A sleep study, also known as a Polysomnography, is a test that evaluates various sleep disorders. There are a lot of wires and sticky pads involved, but the procedure is painless.
A sleep study is an overnight test. A caregiver will have to stay with the patient for the duration of the study.
