Small blood vessel function in the heart and brain after stroke or seizure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how small blood vessels in the heart and brain work in people who have just had a stroke, a first seizure, or a brief memory loss event. It uses MRI scans to see if these blood vessel problems are linked to neurological conditions, which might help improve care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 45 years or older.
- You are willing to give your permission to take part in the study.
- You were recently in the hospital for a first-time stroke, a first-time seizure, or a sudden memory problem called transient global amnesia.
- You have not had a prior stroke or seizure.
- You do not have a serious brain disease like dementia or Parkinson's disease.
- You do not have severe kidney problems that would keep you from getting an MRI with contrast dye.

This study examines how small blood vessel disease in the brain progresses differently depending on whether you've had a recent stroke. Researchers will use MRI scans to track changes over time and better understand this condition.
This study looks at how well the brain works after a stroke or in people with stroke risk factors. It uses a special MRI scan to understand brain changes that may affect thinking and memory.
This trial looks at people who may have “small vessel” problems in the brain, which can cause stroke, memory trouble, walking changes, movement symptoms, or headaches. It may help researchers better understand the genetic and non-genetic causes, which could improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at how thinking and memory change after a stroke using short cognitive tests. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes affect thinking, and how to measure them accurately.
This study looks at how the nervous system's automatic functions (like heart rate and blood pressure) change after a stroke. It uses MRI scans and blood tests to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat these changes.
This study looks at how blood flow in the small vessels of the brain is affected after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It aims to better understand these conditions, which could help improve care in the future.
