Thinking and memory after sleep apnea treatment in Native Americans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older.
- You identify as American Indian or Alaska Native.
- You have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.
- You have been prescribed a PAP (breathing) machine and have it at home.
- You do not already use your PAP machine well enough to meet Medicaid standards.
- You can understand and speak English, and are willing to follow the study rules.

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 looks at how stopping CPAP for 14 nights affects “brain waste clearance,” a process your brain uses to clear byproducts during sleep. It is testing whether using CPAP versus stopping it changes this brain cleanup in adults with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
This study tests ways to help Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults use their PAP (positive airway pressure) machine more regularly to treat sleep apnea. If you qualify, you'll get extra support to stick with your treatment.
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
This study tests a new device called PAP-NAP that might help people with sleep apnea during a short daytime nap. It looks at how well you can nap with this device while being monitored.
