Sleep apnea, brain health, and CPAP therapy study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects your brain and thinking skills. Researchers want to see if CPAP treatment can help protect your brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where you stop breathing during sleep).
- Your doctor has recommended starting CPAP or similar breathing therapy.
- You do not have a major brain disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis.
- You have not had a stroke or brain injury in the last 3 months.
- You do not regularly take sleep medicines (like zopiclone, mirtazapine, or daridorexant).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine (a mask that helps you breathe better during sleep) can help people with mild cognitive impairment and sleep apnea. It aims to see if treating sleep apnea can slow down or improve memory and thinking problems.
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 thinking and memory are affected in people with newly diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops briefly during sleep). It aims to understand the impact of sleep apnea on brain function.
