Can a good Night's sleep stop Alzheimer's before it starts?
NCT ID NCT04629547
Summary
This study is testing whether a prescription sleep medication called suvorexant can slow down the buildup of a harmful protein in the brain that is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will enroll 200 healthy adults aged 65 and older who have normal memory. The main goal is to see if taking the sleep aid for an extended period reduces the rate of this protein accumulation compared to a placebo.
