Clinical Study on Helping Early Alzheimer’s Patients Improve Memory
Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 6 million older Americans and is a leading cause of disability later in life, placing a heavy burden on families and communities. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often the first sign of memory changes and carries a significant risk of progressing to Alzheimer’s. Finding ways to intervene early is critical to protect memory and slow or prevent decline before it becomes irreversible.
Researchers at UNT Health Fort Worth are conducting a clinical trial to test whether short, repeated exposures to low-oxygen air, known as intermittent hypoxia training, may improve memory in adults with memory concerns or MCI.
You may be eligible to participate if you are between 55 and 79 years old, have noticed memory problems, and are able to travel UNT Health for multiple visits. Participants will receive compensation, along with a free physical exam, memory testing, and blood work.
All procedures in this study have been reviewed and approved by the North Texas Regional Institutional Review Board to ensure safety and ethical standards.
By taking part, you can contribute to important research aimed at developing therapies for cognitive impairment while advancing scientific knowledge that may shape future treatments.
