Sleep study testing breathing and blood flow in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how your brain blood flow and breathing change during sleep under normal oxygen and reduced oxygen. It will only include healthy adults so researchers can learn what “intermittent hypoxia” does to the body in people without medical problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a healthy adult age 18 to 45
- You have lived in Calgary for the past year
- You do not have medical conditions that affect the brain, heart/lungs, kidneys, or metabolism
- You are not pregnant and do not have obesity or sleep breathing problems
- You must not take blood pressure medications
- You should not be lactose intolerant and must not currently smoke

This Phase 1 study looks at how blood vessel function is affected by obstructive sleep apnea in adults who are newly diagnosed and have not used CPAP. It may help researchers understand the early effects of sleep apnea and guide future treatments.
This study is looking at a specific sleep-related condition (obstructive sleep apnea) in adults whose blood pressure is not high, and how their blood pressure rhythm changes over the day. If you have sleep apnea, participating could help researchers understand patterns that may affect long-term health.
This study tests whether breathing lower-oxygen air in short breaks changes how the brain and body respond. It is only for medically stable, healthy adults with specific safety screening.
This study looks at how improving sleep might affect blood vessel health in people with high blood pressure who don't sleep well. You might join if you have high blood pressure and poor sleep quality.
This early-stage study tests a treatment that briefly reduces oxygen during sleep to improve “plasticity,” with the goal of helping people with obstructive or mixed sleep apnea. It also looks at related conditions like high blood pressure and pre-diabetes or cholesterol problems, especially in people who haven’t tried CPAP yet.
This study tests whether combining short periods of reduced oxygen (like high-altitude breathing) with exercise can improve memory and thinking in adults aged 50-65. It may help boost brain function and overall health.
