Predicting recovery after moyamoya brain surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is building a tool to predict how people with moyamoya disease will do after brain surgery to improve blood flow. If you are an adult with moyamoya and are scheduled for this surgery, you may be able to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with moyamoya disease using imaging tests like CTA, MRA, or DSA.
- You are planning to have a revascularization surgery (a surgery to improve blood flow to the brain).
- Your moyamoya disease is not caused by another condition, such as an autoimmune disease or brain tumor.
- You do not have severe heart or lung disease that would make the study unsafe for you.

This study looks at how Moyamoya disease changes over time and what predicts outcomes. It uses approved brain imaging and, likely, thinking/memory tests to understand prognosis.
This study looks at why some people with moyamoya disease have trouble with thinking and memory. It may help find better ways to understand and treat these problems.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better predict the risk of bleeding in people with moyamoya disease, a rare condition where brain arteries narrow. It aims to improve prevention of bleeding strokes.
This trial follows people with moyamoya disease who are treated with medication only, and it also looks at first-degree relatives. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes and whether careful conservative care is beneficial over time.
This study uses MRI scans to watch how brain networks work while you are asleep during moyamoya bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how the brain adjusts after the procedure.
This study investigates moyamoya disease, a rare condition where blood vessels in the brain narrow over time. Researchers want to identify genetic and early warning signs by studying people diagnosed with the disease, their blood relatives, and healthy volunteers.
