Sleep Apnea Treatment and Alzheimer's Risk in Black Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether personalized sleep apnea treatment can help protect memory and thinking in Black older adults. If you have sleep apnea and are concerned about Alzheimer's, this study may help you and others like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a program to help Latino couples improve sleep and CPAP use, which may lower Alzheimer's risk. You and your partner will join telehealth sessions together.
This study tests whether certain medications can help older adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea breathe better during sleep. It aims to improve sleep quality and safety for elderly patients.
This trial looks at how severe sleep apnea breathing patterns relate to body “biomarkers” linked to Alzheimer’s disease, using blood or other measures. It may help researchers understand whether sleep apnea is connected to memory and brain health—and who might benefit most from better sleep care.
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 whether using a PAP (breathing) machine helps thinking and memory in Native American adults with sleep apnea. If you are 50 or older and just starting PAP therapy, researchers want to see how it affects your brain health.
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.
