Purpose
The question proposed by this study is one of treatment: To what extent does treatment of nasal obstruction from enlarged inferior turbinates with cold ablation inferior turbinate reduction in infants, children, and adolescents improve symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related breathing disorder, snoring, disturbed sleeping, open mouth breathing, and upper airway resistance syndrome in patients that continue to have symptoms after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.
The trial seeks to provide evidence that the treatment of inferior turbinates in patients with continued symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related breathing disorder, snoring, disturbed sleeping, open mouth breathing, and upper airway resistance syndrome after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy will improve these symptoms and should be included in the treatment paradigm for treatment of sleep related breathing disorders in infants, children, and adolescents.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- resolution of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms on pediatric sleep questionaire [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 50 |
| Study Start Date: | June 2009 |
| Estimated Primary Completion Date: | June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
| Arms | Assigned Interventions |

No Intervention: Control
No inferior turbinate surgery.

|
Intervention
Intervention group: Cold ablation inferior turbinate reduction utilizing radiofrequency ablation surgery (CITR).
|
Procedure: Cold ablation inferior turbinate reduction utilizing radiofrequency ablation surgery (CITR).
The procedure usually takes 30 minutes and involves the surgeon inserting the coblation inferior turbinate reduction wand into the inferior turbinates and allowing for the radiofrequency cold ablation to ablate soft tissues, with a resultant thermal lesion allowing for additional soft tissue attenuation and contracture with time.
