Screening for brain aneurysms in high-risk family members
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look for unruptured brain aneurysms in people who have a close family member who had a bleeding aneurysm. It aims to find aneurysms early in those who smoke or have high blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years or older
- You have a parent, sibling, or child who had a bleeding brain aneurysm (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage)
- You currently smoke cigarettes or have been diagnosed with high blood pressure (treated or not)
- You are willing and able to have a magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) scan, which is a type of MRI
- You have not had a bleeding brain aneurysm or a subarachnoid hemorrhage before

This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors better see and understand brain aneurysms from MRI or CT scans. It aims to improve how accurately aneurysms are found and whether they are stable or at risk of rupturing.
This study looks at medical records from multiple hospitals in China to understand how brain aneurysms develop and when they might rupture. It may help researchers find better ways to predict and treat them.
This trial uses brain MRI scans and memory/brain-function tests in people who are recovering from a specific type of brain bleed (aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage). It aims to understand how the brain’s memory area changes after the event and how that may relate to memory function during rehabilitation.
This study looks at how well different scan measurements can predict the chance that an unruptured brain aneurysm may grow or bleed. It may help doctors estimate risk more accurately for people living with an aneurysm that hasn’t ruptured yet.
This study looks at people with brain aneurysms to understand which ones are more likely to cause problems. It uses a special MRI to get detailed images and help predict risk.
This trial looks at tiny particles in the blood called extracellular vesicles to see how they differ in patients with brain aneurysms. It may help doctors better understand these aneurysms and improve treatment.
