CEREBRAL SMALL VESSEL DISEASE

This study compares cilostazol, aspirin, and clopidogrel in 632 people who recently had a stroke due to cerebral small vessel disease. The goal is to see if cilostazol is better at preventing another stroke and slowing disease progression, with fewer bleeding risks. Participants …

This study tests whether doing virtual reality (VR) brain exercises for a few days before surgery can help older adults with cerebral small vessel disease avoid confusion or memory problems after their operation. Two hundred forty participants will either receive VR training or s…

This study will analyze eye and brain scans from over 200,000 people to see if eye images can predict brain diseases like small vessel disease and other health problems. Researchers will build computer models to map eye features to brain structure and disease diagnoses. No treatm…

This study tests whether a device that briefly restricts blood flow to the arm (remote ischemic conditioning) can improve thinking and memory in people with cerebral small vessel disease. Forty participants will receive either the real treatment or a sham version twice daily for …
