Brain MRI study on salt and blood pressure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain controls salt and blood pressure. It is for people aged 40–60 with normal to slightly high blood pressure, who have no major health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30.
- You do not have any heart, kidney, metabolic, or neurological conditions.
- You are not taking medications for high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, or psychiatric conditions.

This study looks at how eating different amounts of salt affects the bacteria in your gut and your blood pressure. You would eat a high-salt diet for a few weeks and a low-salt diet for a few weeks to see how your body responds.
This study tests whether your blood pressure is sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will provide you with controlled meals for two weeks to see how your body responds, then invite qualifying participants to continue with a personalized follow-up study.
This study tests a new medication that may help people whose blood pressure is very sensitive to salt intake. Researchers will monitor how your body responds to changes in salt consumption and measure certain immune markers.
This study uses MRI scans to measure how much salt (sodium) builds up in soft tissues in people with kidney disease and related heart conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the body and how treatment or changes in care affect salt buildup.
This trial uses a special MRI scan (called sodium MRI) to measure salt (sodium) in the heart. It compares people with chronic kidney disease (including those on hemodialysis) to healthy volunteers to understand how kidney disease may affect the heart.
This study looks at whether salt (sodium) builds up in the brain in people with kidney failure who are on long-term dialysis. It uses MRI scans to better understand what’s happening in the brain and may help guide future care.
