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 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 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.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes in people with “small-vessel disease” of the brain. It will follow participants over time to understand the condition better and see how brain symptoms may change.
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 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 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.
