Finding stroke caused by small artery disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether your stroke was caused by branch atheromatous disease (BAD), a type of small artery blockage. Knowing this may help choose the best treatment and prevention plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You had an ischemic stroke (clot-caused stroke) in the last week.
- You can have an MRI and other imaging tests as part of the study.
- You are willing to give permission (consent) for the study.
- You do not have other reasons for stroke like a heart problem or major artery blockage.

This study looks at how a specific type of small stroke affects thinking and memory. It uses special brain scans to understand these changes better, which could help improve care for people with similar strokes.
This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
This study looks at how blood flow in the small vessels of the brain is affected after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It aims to better understand these conditions, which could help improve care in the future.
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
