Breathing exercises for better thinking in sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a special breathing exercise program to see if it can improve memory, thinking, and blood flow to the brain in people with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. If you're between 18 and 60 and not using a breathing machine, this might help you think more clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using a sleep study.
- You are not currently using a breathing machine (like CPAP or BiPAP) at night.
- You are in generally good health, with no recent heart, lung, or other serious conditions requiring hospitalization in the last three months.
- You do not have serious heart, brain, or mental health conditions, and you are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can improve sleep for people with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It is for adults who are not currently receiving standard treatments like CPAP.
This trial tests whether a simple breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to breathe in) can improve sleep apnea symptoms in people who already use CPAP. The goal is to see if adding this training helps you feel better or need less CPAP pressure.
This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing and throat muscles can improve moderate sleep apnea. It aims to see if these exercises help reduce breathing pauses and improve sleep quality.
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 tests simple, low-tech treatments (like exercises) for sleep apnea. It's for people who are newly diagnosed or whose current treatment isn't working, and who are willing to pause their usual treatment for 3 months.
