Acupressure to help thinking ability in low-oxygen conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether stimulating acupoints (like acupressure) can protect your thinking and memory when oxygen levels are low, such as at high altitudes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 18 and 50 years old.
- You do not have any heart, lung, or circulation problems.
- You have not had a major illness affecting your breathing, heart, digestion, blood, or ear-nose-throat in the past.
- You have not had a fever or respiratory infection (like a cold or flu) in the last two weeks.
- You have not had alcohol or poor sleep in the past 24 hours.

This study looks at whether a simple, short bursts of physical activity program can help with thinking and daily tasks in people with COPD who also have mild memory problems. Participants will wear an activity tracker and get messages on their phone to encourage them to move more.
This trial tests whether breathing low-oxygen air (like at high altitude) combined with exercise can improve memory and brain function in healthy middle-aged adults. You would do short exercise sessions while breathing a special air mixture, and the study will measure changes in your thinking and brain activity.
This study tests whether extra oxygen helps thinking and memory in healthy people living at high altitude in Kyrgyzstan. Researchers want to understand how oxygen affects the brain in people already adapted to living in mountainous areas.
This study tests whether a blackcurrant-based supplement can help your brain work better when oxygen levels are low (like at high altitude). It may benefit healthy young men who live near sea level.
This study examines how your brain's ability to remember tasks changes when exposed to moderate altitude with lower oxygen. Researchers want to understand this effect in healthy volunteers to advance knowledge about altitude physiology.
This study tests whether breathing controlled low-oxygen air (through a disposable face mask) can improve brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You’d be randomly assigned to the real treatment or a sham (placebo-like) control, and you’d need multiple lab visits.
