Breathing troubles cloud Veterans' minds: study probes double whammy of sleep apnea and COPD
NCT ID NCT02703207
Summary
This study aims to understand if having both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) causes more thinking and memory problems than having just one of these conditions. Researchers will enroll 108 older veterans to compare their thinking skills and quality of life. They will also test if treatment with a breathing machine plus extra oxygen works better than a breathing machine alone to improve these problems.
