Brain Vessel Disease Progression After Different Stroke Types
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Brain MRI showing white matter hyperintensities (bright spots on imaging linked to small vessel disease)
- Either no recent stroke, or a recent small stroke, or a recent larger stroke
- Ability to read and speak German well enough to understand study procedures
- No other conditions causing similar brain changes (like tumors, inflammation, or inherited disorders)
- No severe traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, or MRI contraindications

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 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 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 trial looks at people who may have “small vessel” problems in the brain, which can cause stroke, memory trouble, walking changes, movement symptoms, or headaches. It may help researchers better understand the genetic and non-genetic causes, which could improve future diagnosis and treatment.
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.
