About this study

Official title: Acute Effects of Supplemental Oxygen on Memory in Healthy Older Adults: a Double-Blind Within-Subject Crossover Study

Forty healthy adults (i.e., not recruited with respect to any particular diagnosis) are each alternately provided with supplemental oxygen and air via nasal cannula at about 6 Liters per Minute (LPM), while completing memory tests.

Read the detailed description

Prior studies have reported that supplemental oxygen can confer acute benefits to cognition. Here, the investigators seek to replicate/extend such findings by assessing whether such benefits can be seen using an Inogen oxygen concentrator with subjects with an average age around 65 years old. The investigators include a standard measure of cognition previously reported to be sensitive to supplemental oxygen (2-back test) and a novel, in-development adaptation of a memory test for medical-related content (Medical icons spatial test).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cross Over Assignment Supplemental Oxygen and Supplemental AirDevice

    Subjects repeatedly complete memory tests, either first while breathing supplemental oxygen or first while breathing "supplemental air" (in an order randomly assigned).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cross Over Assignment Supplemental Oxygen and Supplemental Air in people with Cognition, run by Inogen Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

2 back Memory test performance (time frame: At baseline and 5 mins post-intervention exposure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06555484, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2025.
