Brain activity and walking in small vessel disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 50 years of age or older
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of small vessel disease in the brain based on an MRI
- Have a slowly progressive trouble with walking (not from a sudden stroke)
- Be able to undergo an MRI scan safely (no pacemaker or metal implants)
- Not have another brain condition like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease
- Have no severe memory or thinking problems that would prevent participation

This study looks at how small vessel disease in the brain affects your health over time, using MRI scans and other tests. It aims to better understand the disease and improve future diagnosis and care.
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 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 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.
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 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.
