Oxygen therapy for thinking skills in high-altitude residents
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen to healthy people living at high altitudes can improve memory, attention, and thinking. If you live at around 8,200 feet, this trial might help show if extra oxygen can boost brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are of Kyrgyz ethnicity and were born, raised, and currently live at an altitude of about 2500 meters (about 8,200 feet).
- You speak Russian fluently.
- You are generally healthy, without unstable high blood pressure, heart disease, or significant lung problems.
- You do not regularly use medications that affect sleep or breathing (such as sleeping pills, strong painkillers, or acetazolamide).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a blackcurrant-based supplement can help thinking and memory when you are exposed to low oxygen (like at high altitude). If it works, it could be a natural way to keep your mind sharp in challenging environments.
This study tests whether combining short periods of reduced oxygen (like high-altitude breathing) with exercise can improve memory and thinking in adults aged 50-65. It may help boost brain function and overall health.
This study looks at how being at moderate altitude (with lower oxygen) affects your memory for future tasks (like remembering to do something). If you're healthy and pass the screening, you would participate in a controlled test of your memory in a simulated altitude environment.
This study tests how short periods of low oxygen (like at high altitude) affect your body's breathing control. It is for healthy people and may help researchers better understand breathing during sleep.
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
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.
