Study to slow memory decline by targeting hidden small brain vessel disease
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at how to slow cognitive decline and early dementia in people with a specific kind of “silent” blood vessel damage in the brain seen on scans. It may help identify whether targeting this hidden condition can protect thinking and memory over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 88 years old
- You have a thinking or memory complaint, with testing showing MMSE 20 or higher
- Your brain scan (MRI or CT) shows either moderate-to-severe or minimal “small vessel” changes, based on a specific scale
- You have high blood pressure (at least 140/90), either controlled or not, confirmed in the last 12 months or at the visit
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no incompatible metal/pacemaker/unsafe eye metal) and can tolerate the MRI environment
- You can sign informed consent, and you are covered by French national health insurance

This study looks at thinking and memory problems in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses computer tests and may include a type of brain stimulation to understand how the brain works and find better ways to help.
This study tracks people ages 30 to 60 who have signs of small vessel disease on brain MRI. It aims to understand the risk of dementia over the next 10 years, so you can get early monitoring and care.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes in people with “small-vessel disease” of the brain. It will follow participants over time to understand the condition better and see how brain symptoms may change.
This study tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (changes in the brain's tiny blood vessels) to learn more about how the condition progresses. It may be a good fit if you are 50 or older and have had an MRI showing these changes.
This study watches how small blood vessels in the brain change over time. It may help doctors understand brain health as people age.
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.
