Brain MRI study for hepatic encephalopathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a powerful 7.0T MRI scanner to look at the brains of people with hepatic encephalopathy, a condition where the liver can't clean toxins from the blood. The goal is to better understand how the brain is affected, which could help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Suspected or confirmed hepatic encephalopathy based on standard medical guidelines
- Completed at least primary school (year 6) education
- Able to return for regular follow-up visits
- No metal implants, pacemakers, or other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe
- No history of stroke, brain tumors, epilepsy, or other brain diseases

This study looks at people with brain conditions using a very strong MRI scanner (7.0T). It may help doctors understand brain diseases better and improve how scans are used, but you must be able to safely have the MRI (and possibly contrast dye).
This study uses a very powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine to take detailed pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to better understand changes in the brain and possibly find new ways to track the disease.
This trial looks at how liver cirrhosis affects brain function by studying proteins and gut bacteria. It includes people with and without early signs of brain issues (hepatic encephalopathy). The goal is to better understand these changes and find new ways to help.
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
This study looks at how well simple brain tests can detect early (minimal) thinking changes related to liver cirrhosis. It may help doctors spot these changes sooner and diagnose the condition more accurately.
This research study compares two types of brain imaging—EEG (electrical activity measured through scalp electrodes) and MRI (magnetic imaging of the brain)—to understand how they relate to each other. Researchers want to see if these two tests give similar information about how your brain works.
