Home sleep testing for people with memory trouble
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how well home sleep apnea testing works for people with cognitive impairment (memory/thinking problems) to help improve outcomes. You may be asked to do a home sleep test (and possibly an in-lab test) and will involve a caregiver if needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your memory/thinking test scores fit the study ranges (MoCA 13–28, MMSE 18–30, or TorCA 28 or less)
- You have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia from Alzheimer’s disease or certain related causes (like vascular dementia)
- You can agree to take part yourself, or a caregiver can legally consent for you
- A caregiver is available to help you complete the home sleep test if needed
- You have not been diagnosed with sleep apnea in the last 2 years, and you are not already using CPAP or a dental appliance for sleep apnea
- You should be able to safely wear the specific home sleep device (no major breathing/heart problems, and no heart pacemaker issues if using the listed device)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) is linked to thinking and memory in people who have mild memory problems. You will do a home sleep test and take memory tests to help researchers find this connection.
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help protect memory and brain health in older adults. It involves using a CPAP machine or other treatments for sleep apnea and may include memory tests and brain scans over 2 years.
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects thinking, memory, and quality of life. It involves people with OSA and a comparison group without it, to better understand the impact of the condition.
This study tests a home sleep testing system called SleepView+ in people who have already been scheduled for an overnight sleep lab study. If you have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, this device might offer a more convenient way to monitor your sleep at home.
This study compares two treatments for sleep apnea (CPAP and a custom mouthpiece) to see which is better for patients who also have mild memory or thinking problems. Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. You may qualify if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and mild cognitive impairment.
