Tiny study peers inside brain after AVM surgery
NCT ID NCT07569887
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 10 adults with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) who are scheduled for surgery. Researchers will use special brain scans to measure blood flow and energy use in different brain regions before and six months after the operation. The goal is to understand how the brain changes after AVM removal, not to test a new treatment.
