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 certain type of small stroke affects thinking and memory. It uses special brain scans to learn more, which might help doctors understand and support patients better after a stroke.
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 trial tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
This study looks at how blood flow in small brain blood vessels changes after a stroke or in cerebral small vessel disease. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
This trial uses a detailed eye/brain imaging test (optical coherence tomography) to study people with significantly narrowed brain arteries after certain stroke-like events. It may help researchers better understand and monitor this condition to improve care.
