Summary

This early study at Mayo Clinic tests whether using an automated leg massage device each night can improve the brain's waste-clearing system in people over 50 with treated obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers linked to brain health and sleep quality. The goal is to gather initial evidence, not to treat the condition directly.
