Sleep apnea treatment may shield aging brains from memory loss
NCT ID NCT05988385
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether successfully treating moderate-to-severe sleep apnea can improve memory and reduce biological markers linked to Alzheimer's disease in older adults. About 200 cognitively healthy people aged 55-85 will either receive immediate sleep apnea treatment or join a waitlist, then be followed for two years. Researchers will measure changes in memory, brain chemicals, and thinking skills to see if better sleep leads to better brain health.
