Watching artery narrowing in the neck or brain over time
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the neck or brain to learn more about their condition. It does not test a new treatment, but helps doctors understand how the disease progresses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 80 years old.
- You must have narrowing or blockage in the arteries of your neck or brain, as shown by ultrasound or imaging.
- You must be willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You should not have had a stroke in the past year.
- You should not have severe illnesses like respiratory failure, kidney failure, or cancer.

This study enrolls people age 40 or older who have at least 50% narrowing in one brain or neck (carotid) artery. It collects clinical information to better understand this condition and how patients are doing over time.
This study tests if opening a narrowed carotid artery can reduce brain damage from small vessel disease. It may help patients with carotid artery narrowing prevent cognitive decline.
This study looks at new imaging markers in people with significant narrowing of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck). It compares people who recently had a stroke from that artery with people who have no recent stroke, to better understand stroke risk and artery disease.
This study looks at “angiogenic markers,” which are blood measures that may reflect how blood vessels grow, in people with significant narrowing of a brain artery. It aims to better understand these changes and how they relate to cerebrovascular disease.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study tests if using ultrasound to screen for blocked neck and head arteries can improve treatment plans for people getting heart artery stents. It aims to find hidden blockages and tailor therapy to reduce stroke and other risks.
