Managing temporary brain symptoms in moyamoya surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a method to reduce temporary neurological symptoms during moyamoya disease surgery. It might help patients who are having a bypass procedure to improve blood flow to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moyamoya disease and are scheduled for a direct bypass surgery.
- You are 3 years old or older.
- You do not have kidney problems, electrolyte imbalances, or certain muscle/nerve disorders like myasthenia gravis.
- You do not have heart block.

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 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 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 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 tests whether daily aspirin, a special physical therapy called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), or both can slow down moyamoya disease, a condition that narrows brain blood vessels and increases stroke risk. Participating may help you manage your condition and possibly prevent it from getting worse.
