Brain fog in sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain fog (difficulty thinking or concentrating) in people with severe sleep apnea, both before and after starting CPAP therapy. It aims to understand how sleep apnea treatment affects brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe sleep apnea.
- You are either starting CPAP treatment for the first time or you have been using CPAP for at least 3 months.
- You are able to understand and speak Italian.
- You do not have other serious neurological conditions, cancer, or a history of psychiatric or substance use disorders.
- You do not already have a known cognitive (thinking) problem.

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 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 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 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 looks at how severe sleep apnea affects your brain's ability to process sounds and think clearly. You will have hearing tests and an EEG, which is a safe brainwave recording, to see if treating sleep apnea can help your hearing and thinking.
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.
