Can better sleep stop Alzheimer's? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT03954210
Summary
This study tested whether a 6-week sleep improvement program could help older adults with insomnia think more clearly and potentially slow down brain changes linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers enrolled 200 adults aged 60-85 and randomly assigned them to either receive the sleep program or not. They measured changes in memory, attention, sleep quality, and, in a smaller group, used brain scans to look for a protein linked to Alzheimer's.
