Sleep Apnea & Cognitive Function in Subjects With Subjective or Mild

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation and leads to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive sequelae. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of neurocognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, sleep and circadian function might be modifiable neurocognitive impairment factors. The significance of the study is to understand the relationships of MCI with sleep apnea and sleep-related symptoms, which helps pave the groundwork for further research.

Clinical Trial Description

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep that causes intermittent hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. Chronic intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation of OSA, and insufficient sleep have been significantly associated with higher risks of neurocognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, sleep and circadian function might be modifiable neurocognitive impairment factors. A recent review of 11 studies involving 5826 subjects [96% with OSA and 9% with MCI or Alzheimer's disease] suggests OSA is a modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline. Thus, improving sleep, sleep apnea and circadian function could be a high-value intervention target to alleviate cognitive impairment and decline in subjects with MCI. The study aims to understand the relationships of prevalent sleep apnea and sleep-related symptoms with neurocognitive status in patients who presented with the main complaint of neurocognitive impairment ( to the Memory clinic). The information would help pave the groundwork for further research. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
