Imaging study for Moyamoya disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests different brain imaging methods (MRI and PET/CT) to better understand blood flow and disease activity in people with Moyamoya disease. The goal is to learn more about the condition and possibly find new ways to see how active the disease is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your doctor thinks you might have Moyamoya disease, a rare condition that narrows arteries in the brain.
- You must be able to understand the study and give your permission (informed consent) to take part.
- You cannot have other causes of blood vessel issues, such as hardening of the arteries or inflammation of blood vessels.
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no metal in your body, no pregnancy) and a PET/CT scan.
- You should not have serious kidney problems that could interfere with the imaging tests.

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 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 at Vanderbilt tests whether certain biomarkers (signs in your blood or brain scans) can help tailor care for people with Moyamoya, a condition where blood flow to the brain is reduced. Participants will have brain scans and complete study procedures before and after surgery to improve blood flow.
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 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.
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.
