First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether short sessions of breathing air with slightly less oxygen (intermittent hypoxia training) can safely improve memory and thinking in adults aged 55-79 with mild cognitive impairment. Participants will be assigned to either the real treatment or a sham (fake) version for up to 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach can boost brain function and even increase brain volume.
