Can a breath of fresh air boost brain power? High-Altitude oxygen trial launches
NCT ID NCT07651917
First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether breathing extra oxygen can improve mental performance in healthy people who live at around 2500 meters elevation. Fifty Kyrgyz adults will receive either real oxygen or a sham treatment through a nasal tube, then take tests of reaction time, attention, and memory. The goal is to see if low blood oxygen at moderate altitude causes thinking problems that can be reversed.
