Studying small vessel disease in the brain with MRI and other tests
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how small blood vessel disease in the brain (called cerebral small vessel disease) affects thinking, memory, and overall brain health. Researchers will use MRI scans and other tests to find biomarkers that may help predict risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease (damage to small blood vessels in the brain) seen on an MRI.
- You do not have other major brain conditions (like a large stroke, brain tumor, epilepsy, or previous brain surgery).
- The white matter changes in your brain are not from other causes like inflammation or toxins.
- You are able to have an MRI scan without any metal implants or other contraindications.

This trial uses MRI scans to study small vessel disease in the brain over time. It looks at how the disease changes in people with risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
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 tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) over time using MRI scans. It aims to understand how the condition changes and affects health, which could help improve future care.
This trial uses brain scans (EEG and fMRI) to understand how small vessel disease affects walking. It may help find better ways to treat gait problems like slowness or imbalance.
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 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.
