Moyamoya disease

This study tests a metaverse-based surgical platform that uses extended reality (XR) to help surgeons precisely locate blood vessels during brain bypass surgery. The trial includes 30 adults with moyamoya disease or chronic cerebral ischemia who need an extracranial-intracranial …

This study compares two stomach-acid-lowering drugs—tegoprazan and rabeprazole—in about 3,300 heart disease patients who take blood thinners and are at high risk for stomach bleeding. The goal is to see if tegoprazan works as well as rabeprazole at preventing serious gut problems…

This study tests a personalized approach to managing fluids during brain surgery for children with Moyamoya disease. Instead of standard blood pressure targets, doctors will use each child's baseline heart function to guide fluid delivery. The goal is to reduce temporary stroke-l…

This study tests a new robotic surgical system (Symani) in 15 adults with Moyamoya disease, a rare condition that narrows brain arteries and raises stroke risk. The surgery aims to improve blood flow to the brain. Participants must have mild to moderate symptoms and agree to the …

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment for Moyamoya disease, a rare condition where major brain arteries narrow, raising stroke risk. The treatment combines a special muscle flap with injections of tiny particles from stem cells (iPSC-EVs) to encourage new blood vessel grow…

This study is testing a new type of MRI scan called eASL that measures blood flow in the brain without needing a contrast injection. It will include 50 children with conditions like Moya-moya or sickle cell disease that affect brain arteries. The goal is to see if eASL gives clea…

This study is building a huge database of up to 800,000 Korean patients with heart or brain vascular disease. By tracking their health over many years, researchers hope to understand the unique patterns and risk factors in this population. The goal is to create a platform that ca…

This study tests two methods of giving the anesthetic remimazolam during cerebrovascular bypass surgery in people with moyamoya disease. One method uses a computer-controlled pump (TCI), the other uses manual weight-based dosing. The goal is to see which approach uses less total …

This study is looking at families where someone has moyamoya disease, a rare condition that narrows brain arteries and raises stroke risk. Researchers want to find early warning signs in first-degree relatives using advanced MRI scans and biological samples like blood and saliva.…

This study is gathering information from 4500 people who have or will have brain surgery for conditions like aneurysms, tumors, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors predict how well someone will recover. By standardizing how outcomes a…

This small study tests a smartphone app that creates a 'digital twin' of the patient to help manage health after a stroke, moyamoya disease, or cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Twenty adults will either use the app plus standard care, or standard care alone. The goal is to see if pat…

This study collects blood, clots, and tissue from up to 1000 people having procedures for stroke or other blood vessel problems in the brain. Researchers will analyze these samples to find biological markers and understand inflammation. The goal is to learn more about how stroke …

This study is creating a large network of hospitals across Italy to improve the diagnosis and understanding of rare cerebrovascular diseases (rCVDs), such as CADASIL, Fabry disease, and Moyamoya. Researchers will collect medical information and blood samples from 500 patients to …

This study explores whether a training program that mixes cognitive tasks (like memory and attention exercises) with physical therapy can improve recovery in people with post-stroke cognitive impairment or Moyamoya disease. Researchers will also use brain imaging to see how think…

This study tests a special microscope attachment called GLOW800 that helps surgeons see blood flow and tissues in real time during brain and reconstructive surgery. About 29 adults will take part, and surgeons will rate how well the tool works. The goal is to confirm the device i…

This early study is testing whether a robot can help doctors perform delicate brain blood vessel procedures, such as angiography, embolization, and thrombectomy. Ten patients scheduled for these standard procedures will have them done using a robotic system instead. The main goal…
