Long-term study of small vessel disease in the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have had an MRI showing signs of small vessel disease in the brain (e.g., white matter changes or small strokes).
- You are able to care for yourself and manage daily activities.
- You do not have a recent large stroke, major bleeding in the brain, or a known brain aneurysm over 3 mm.
- You do not have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, or another non-vascular brain disease.

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 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.
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.
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 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.
This study tracks people ages 30 to 60 who have signs of small vessel disease on brain MRI. It aims to understand the risk of dementia over the next 10 years, so you can get early monitoring and care.
