Summary

This study tests whether a dental mouthpiece (MAD) works as well as a CPAP machine to improve thinking and memory in people with sleep apnea who also have mild memory problems. About 260 adults aged 45 and older will be randomly assigned to use either device for one year. Researchers will track changes in cognitive tests, blood pressure, and brain scans to see which treatment helps more.
