Eye scan study for brain small vessel disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to check the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It may help doctors understand small vessel disease in the brain and find easier ways to monitor it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 35 years old or older.
- You have had a brain MRI that shows signs of small vessel disease (like white matter changes or microbleeds).
- You can cooperate with the study procedures (like lying still for exams).
- You do not have another brain disease that could cause similar problems (like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's).
- You do not have an eye disease that would interfere with the eye imaging test.
- You do not have a serious heart, liver, or kidney disease, or a major mental illness.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses eye scans to see if blood vessel leakage in the retina (back of the eye) is linked to small vessel disease in the brain after a mild stroke. It may help doctors better understand and monitor this condition.
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.
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
This study uses an eye scan called OCTA to look at blood vessels in the retina. It compares people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes) to healthy volunteers to see if eye changes can help detect heart disease early.
This study uses an advanced eye scan (OCT-A) to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It compares people with systemic blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or inflammatory disease) to healthy volunteers, to see if the eye scan can help predict or understand these diseases.
