Recruiting studies
- NCT04753970RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study uses retina changes to assess blood vessel health
This study looks at the back of your eyes (the retina) to see if it reflects blood vessel health in the brain. It may help doctors find easier ways to track conditions related to small blood vessel disease.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03542734Recruiting
Imaging study for thinking and brain changes in older adults
This study looks at brain scans and eye/eye-nerve findings to understand why thinking can change with aging. It may help researchers connect eye and brain changes, which could guide future ways to prevent or detect dementia early.
HangzhouAges 40 years+ - NCT04962295Recruiting
Brain MRI study for small blood vessel changes
This study builds a brain imaging biobank for people with “small blood vessel disease” seen on MRI. Your MRI results can help researchers better understand these changes and track new events over time.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05715710Recruiting
MRI and brain vein pattern study for memory and thinking problems
This study looks at whether certain deep brain veins seen on MRI are linked to thinking and memory problems in people with small-vessel brain disease. It compares brain scan findings with cognitive (thinking) testing to better understand what may drive cognitive dysfunction.
Zigong, SichuanAges 50–85 - NCT05734378Recruiting
Study aims to predict outcomes in small blood vessel brain disease
This trial is looking at how brain “small blood vessel disease” changes over time and what outcomes to expect. If you have certain symptoms or scan findings from this condition, your care team may compare your prognosis to help guide future treatment planning.
BernAges 16 years+ - NCT05885295Recruiting
Testing thinking and memory after stroke using cognitive exams
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06342661Recruiting
VISTA protein in blood vessel-related memory problems
This study measures levels of a protein called VISTA in the blood of people with memory problems caused by blood vessel disease. It aims to see if VISTA can help diagnose or predict this condition.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 50–80 - NCT06474507Recruiting
Calculus Bovis Sativus for Stroke Recovery
This study tests an investigational traditional Chinese medicine called Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS) for people who have had an ischemic stroke or have small vessel disease in the brain. It aims to see if CBS can help recovery and is safe to use.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06525987Recruiting
Exercise coaching for brain health after small stroke
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided by a coach over video calls, can help improve brain function and connectivity in people who have had a small stroke. The program is designed for people aged 60 and older with a history of lacunar stroke who are not very active but otherwise have minimal disability.
Avezzano, L'AquilaAges 60 years+ - NCT06579664Recruiting
Brain stimulation for memory loss from small vessel disease
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation can improve memory and thinking in people whose cognitive problems are caused by cerebral small vessel disease (damage to the small blood vessels in the brain). You may qualify if you have mild memory or thinking issues that have lasted at least three months.
BeijingAges 45–80 - NCT06579677Recruiting
Watching small blood vessels in the brain over time
This study watches how small blood vessels in the brain change over time. It may help doctors understand brain health as people age.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–75 - NCT06649240Recruiting
Best LDL cholesterol goal after small vessel stroke
This trial is testing the best target for 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) after a type of stroke caused by a small blocked vessel. You would be in one of two groups to see which LDL level helps prevent another stroke the most.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT06715007Recruiting
Study on blood thinners and artery health for small vessel stroke
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 30–79 - NCT07329647Recruiting
Brain nutrition study for cognitive decline
This trial tests whether a nitrate-rich food supplement can improve blood flow in the brain and help thinking and memory. It is for people with small vessel disease in the brain or diabetes who are at risk for cognitive decline.
CoimbraAges 18 years+ - NCT07503301Enrolling by invitation
Study on stroke recovery and limb therapy
This trial tests if a limb therapy called RIC can help people recover from a stroke caused by small vessel disease. It is designed for people aged 50-65 who have had a recent stroke and have few other health issues.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 50–65 - NCT07042633Recruiting
Gamma brain waves and memory in small vessel disease study
This study looks at how brain waves in certain areas may affect memory in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses EEG, a safe way to measure brain activity, along with imaging and thinking tests, to understand why some people have memory trouble.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 55–75 - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small vessel cerebrovascular disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting small vessel cerebrovascular disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a small vessel cerebrovascular disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a small vessel cerebrovascular disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
