Brain imaging study for venous sinus conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how the brain's waste-clearing system (glymphatic function) and white matter are affected in people with cerebral venous disorders (either narrowing or blood clots in the brain's veins). It aims to improve understanding of these conditions, which may lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus stenosis or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, or you are a healthy volunteer.
- If you have stenosis, it must be in the transverse or sigmoid sinus with at least 50% narrowing.
- If you have thrombosis, your diagnosis must be within 28 days of symptom onset.
- You must be able to undergo MRI (no metal implants, no claustrophobia, no allergy to contrast dye).
- You must not have other major brain conditions like stroke, tumors, or diseases like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's.

This study follows people who have a blood clot in the brain’s venous drainage system. It aims to better understand this condition and may help improve how it is recognized and managed.
This study tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the large veins that drain blood from the brain (called venous sinuses). It aims to improve symptoms like severe headaches, vision problems, and other effects of this condition for patients who have had symptoms for less than 3 weeks.
This study is for people who have been diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis (a blood clot in the brain’s venous system) at specific hospitals. It looks back at cases from 2014 to 2023 to learn from real-world patients.
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.
This study looks at how to best treat people with untreated cerebral cavernous malformations (a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain). It compares outcomes between those who have surgery and those who are monitored with regular check-ups, and will follow participants for a long time to see how they do.
This study tests a new type of CT scanner that gives clearer pictures of the stent in the vein in your head after it has been placed. The goal is to see if this new scanner helps doctors see the stent better and spot any problems more easily.
