Cognitive deficits in small vessel brain disease study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at thinking and memory problems in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses computer tests and may include a type of brain stimulation to understand how the brain works and find better ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how to slow cognitive decline and early dementia in people with a specific kind of “silent” blood vessel damage in the brain seen on scans. It may help identify whether targeting this hidden condition can protect thinking and memory over time.
This study looks at brain activity and walking in people who have small vessel disease, a condition where tiny blood vessels in the brain are damaged. It uses EEG and MRI scans to understand how the brain controls walking, which may help improve future treatments for gait problems.
This study looks at whether certain deep brain veins seen on MRI are linked to thinking and memory problems in people with small-vessel brain disease. It compares brain scan findings with cognitive (thinking) testing to better understand what may drive cognitive dysfunction.
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 follows people with cerebral small vessel disease (a condition where the small blood vessels in the brain are damaged) over time to learn more about how it progresses and how it affects people. Participating involves regular check-ins and MRI scans to monitor your health.
This study tests whether a simple, non-drug treatment (like using a blood pressure cuff to briefly restrict blood flow in the arm) can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment caused by small vessel disease. It may help by improving blood flow to the brain.
