Gamma brain waves and memory in small vessel disease study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain waves in certain areas may affect memory in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses EEG, a safe way to measure brain activity, along with imaging and thinking tests, to understand why some people have memory trouble.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease with either normal thinking or mild memory problems.
- You have complete medical records, including thinking tests, brain scans, and EEG results.
- You do not have severe trouble speaking or moving that would make testing hard.
- You have not had a stroke with lasting neurological effects.
- You do not have other brain conditions like epilepsy, head injury, or certain addictions that affect memory.
- You do not have major depression or other serious psychiatric illness.

This study tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (changes in the brain's tiny blood vessels) to learn more about how the condition progresses. It may be a good fit if you are 50 or older and have had an MRI showing these changes.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation can improve memory and thinking in people whose cognitive problems are caused by cerebral small vessel disease (damage to the small blood vessels in the brain). You may qualify if you have mild memory or thinking issues that have lasted at least three months.
This study builds a brain imaging biobank for people with “small blood vessel disease” seen on MRI. Your MRI results can help researchers better understand these changes and track new events over time.
This study uses advanced computer analysis of brain MRI scans to better understand cerebral small vessel disease, a condition affecting tiny blood vessels in the brain that can lead to thinking and movement problems. By comparing two scans taken six or more months apart, researchers hope to improve how the disease is detected and tracked.
This study watches how small blood vessels in the brain change over time. It may help doctors understand brain health as people age.
This study tests whether combining brain training exercises with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment linked to vascular problems. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain while patients do thinking tasks.
