MRI and brain vein pattern study for memory and thinking problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 50 and 85 years old
- Have brain MRI results that fit small-vessel disease (with specific scan features)
- Have been checked for major (large) artery narrowing and have less than 50% blockage
- Be able to stay stable and follow instructions during tests (including MRI and thinking tests)
- Be able to complete memory/thinking testing; severe hearing or vision problems may prevent participation
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at how small blood vessel disease in the brain (called cerebral small vessel disease) affects thinking, memory, and overall brain health. Researchers will use MRI scans and other tests to find biomarkers that may help predict risk.
This study tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) over time using MRI scans. It aims to understand how the condition changes and affects health, which could help improve future care.
This trial uses MRI scans to study small vessel disease in the brain over time. It looks at how the disease changes in people with risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
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 trial uses brain scans (EEG and fMRI) to understand how small vessel disease affects walking. It may help find better ways to treat gait problems like slowness or imbalance.
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.
