Study of brain artery narrowing and small-vessel disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how two types of blood vessel problems in the brain affect each other over time. It may help researchers better understand what to watch for and potentially how to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older.
- You have at least one narrowed brain artery (50% or more).
- Your disability level is low (Modified Rankin Scale less than 2).
- Your thinking and memory score is normal-to-good (Mini-Mental State Exam greater than 24).
- You do not have major narrowing in the same-side artery outside the brain (50% or more).

This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
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 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.
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.
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 is a registry that collects information and brain scan findings from adults with possible small vessel disease. It may help doctors better understand how this condition looks on scans and what it is linked to.
