Monitoring brain aneurysms that have not burst
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to check on brain aneurysms that have not burst and are not causing symptoms. It may help doctors decide if or when treatment is needed, using regular imaging instead of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have at least one brain aneurysm that has not burst and has not been treated, usually found by chance.
- The aneurysm must be at least 3 mm in size and located in a specific area of the brain's blood vessels.
- You need to be scheduled for a cerebral arteriogram (an X-ray test of the brain's blood vessels) within 6 months of finding the aneurysm.
- You must agree to take part and sign a consent form, and be covered by a health insurance program.

This study tests whether showing you a life-size 3D model of your brain aneurysm before your embolization procedure (a treatment to block off the aneurysm) helps reduce your anxiety. The goal is to see if seeing a physical model makes you feel more at ease and better informed.
This study follows adults with a small, unruptured brain aneurysm to better predict how it may change over time. It may help doctors estimate which aneurysms are more likely to worsen and guide future care.
This study compares two approaches for people with a small, unruptured brain aneurysm: careful monitoring over time versus treating it right away with a procedure. The goal is to learn which option is safer and helps prevent future bleeding.
This study uses brain scans (MRI/MRA) from people with an unruptured brain aneurysm to better predict which aneurysms might grow or rupture. If you have an unruptured aneurysm and want to help improve future care, this trial may be an option.
This trial tests whether practicing on a 3D-printed model of your aneurysm helps doctors plan and perform the procedure to place a stent or coils. It may lead to safer and more effective treatment.
This study uses MRI scans to track how brain aneurysms that haven't bled change over time. It may help doctors understand which aneurysms are most likely to grow.
