Sleep apnea screening and memory test study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how common obstructive sleep apnea is and whether it’s linked to thinking and memory problems. It may help clarify which people with sleep apnea might be more likely to have cognitive difficulties.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve been stable on your current permitted medications for at least 4 weeks.
- Your memory/thinking screening should not suggest dementia (mini-mental test score should be 24 or higher).
- You do not have certain brain or nerve disorders like Parkinson’s, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis.
- You do not have major current mental health conditions such as major depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
- You do not have other important sleep disorders such as narcolepsy.
- You are not currently using CPAP or BiPAP (machines for sleep apnea).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 trial looks at how sleep apnea affects blood pressure and thinking skills. It compares people who use CPAP, people who don't, and people without sleep apnea.
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.
This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) affects thinking skills and daily life. It compares people with sleep apnea to similar people without it.
