Imaging the Pathogenesis of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

This observational study aims to understand how cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) progresses. CSVD can lead to problems with thinking and memory (vascular cognitive impairment and dementia). Researchers will use special MRI scans to look at changes in the brain's white matter over time. You might be able to join if you've had an ischemic stroke, have a vascular risk factor like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, and show signs of CSVD on an MRI. The main goal is to see how CSVD changes over one year. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design
This is an observational study planning to enroll 50 participants. It will track changes in the brain using MRI scans.
What's involved
You would need to complete 3 research MRI scans over approximately 1.25 years.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint measures progression of cerebral small vessel disease at 1 year.
