Thinking and memory in sleep apnea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea based on a sleep study.
- You do not have any other long-term health problems besides being overweight.
- You do not have a serious mental health condition that affects thinking.
- You have not been treated for sleep apnea before (like with a CPAP machine or surgery).

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 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 blood pressure and thinking skills. It compares people who use CPAP, people who don't, and people without sleep apnea.
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.
This study looks at how sleep apnea affects thinking and memory in older adults. If you join, you'll wear comfortable, non-invasive sensors overnight to monitor your sleep and breathing patterns.
This study tests whether using a CPAP machine (a mask that helps you breathe better during sleep) can help people with mild cognitive impairment and sleep apnea. It aims to see if treating sleep apnea can slow down or improve memory and thinking problems.
