Testing thinking and memory after carotid artery treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks how a carotid artery procedure affects thinking and memory. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with significant carotid artery narrowing seen on ultrasound, and you can safely do follow-up MRI scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Have carotid artery narrowing on ultrasound (50%+ if you had symptoms, or 70%+ if you had no symptoms)
- Be able to have MRI scans (no major MRI safety issues)
- Need carotid stenting only for long-term narrowing (not for other reasons)
- Be able to give informed consent (or have the ability to understand and agree)

This trial studies how blood flow and brain function change after a carotid artery revascularization procedure (opening a narrowed carotid artery). It may help doctors understand what to expect after treatment, especially in people with significant artery narrowing.
This study enrolls people age 40 or older who have at least 50% narrowing in one brain or neck (carotid) artery. It collects clinical information to better understand this condition and how patients are doing over time.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study looks at how the stiffness of your carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) relates to memory problems. It involves a brain MRI that you may already have planned, and results could help doctors better understand certain types of dementia.
This study tests if opening a narrowed carotid artery can reduce brain damage from small vessel disease. It may help patients with carotid artery narrowing prevent cognitive decline.
This study looks at how well a carotid artery stent works soon after the procedure, using special MRI pictures of the brain. It compares outcomes between stent placement closer to the top versus closer to the bottom of the narrowed area, to see which approach is safer for early brain effects.
