Sleep apnea, thinking, and mood study for kids and adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.

This study looks at how obstructive sleep apnea caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids might affect a child's thinking skills and ability to understand others. It will help doctors learn if treating the sleep problem could also help with these skills.
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 treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may affect thinking and brain-related outcomes in people with serious mental illness. It mainly wants adults ages 40–70 who either have OSA or are likely to have it, and who are not already on sleep apnea treatment.
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.
This study will collect information from people with suspected sleep apnea who feel very sleepy during the day. If you are 18 or older and about to have a sleep study, you may be able to help researchers learn more about this condition.
This study tests a sleep apnea treatment approach and looks at how it may affect your body’s metabolism. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with sleep apnea and meet health and medication rules, and possibly if you already use a PAP machine regularly.
