NCT ID NCT06312956
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 65 adults with obstructive sleep apnea to see how three weeks of CPAP therapy changes their thinking skills, blood markers of brain health, and emotional well-being. Participants complete memory and attention tests, give blood samples, and fill out questionnaires before and after treatment. The goal is to better understand the full benefits of CPAP beyond just improving breathing during sleep.
