Blood pressure and memory in sleep apnea patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You either use CPAP for at least 6 months or do not use any treatment
- You can understand English
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have heart failure, atrial fibrillation, recent heart attack, stroke, or dementia

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 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 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.
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 studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
This trial tests whether treating sleep-disordered breathing (like sleep apnea) can help lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure. You may join if you have high blood pressure and haven't been diagnosed with a sleep disorder before.
