Brain scans reveal hidden clues in rare stroke disorder
NCT ID NCT02071784
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how blood flow and brain activity are linked in people with CADASIL, a rare genetic disease that causes small strokes. Researchers used MRI and EEG scans to measure these connections in 60 adults. The goal was to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
