Aspirin and physical therapy for mild moyamoya disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether daily aspirin, a special physical therapy called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), or both can slow down moyamoya disease, a condition that narrows brain blood vessels and increases stroke risk. Participating may help you manage your condition and possibly prevent it from getting worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild moyamoya disease, a rare condition that affects blood flow in the brain.
- You have not had bleeding in the brain, a stroke, multiple recent mini-strokes, or seizures.
- You do not have other brain conditions like aneurysms, tumors, or a history of brain surgery.
- You can take aspirin without problems, and you do not have a history of stomach bleeding or ulcers.
- You can safely use a blood pressure cuff on your upper arm for a therapy called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinners.

This study looks at why some people with moyamoya disease have trouble with thinking and memory. It may help find better ways to understand and treat these problems.
This study tests if statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) can help people with Moyamoya disease. The trial will follow patients who receive either surgery or standard care to see if adding a statin improves outcomes.
This trial follows people with moyamoya disease who are treated with medication only, and it also looks at first-degree relatives. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes and whether careful conservative care is beneficial over time.
This study looks at how Moyamoya disease changes over time and what predicts outcomes. It uses approved brain imaging and, likely, thinking/memory tests to understand prognosis.
This study investigates moyamoya disease, a rare condition where blood vessels in the brain narrow over time. Researchers want to identify genetic and early warning signs by studying people diagnosed with the disease, their blood relatives, and healthy volunteers.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better predict the risk of bleeding in people with moyamoya disease, a rare condition where brain arteries narrow. It aims to improve prevention of bleeding strokes.
