Could a simple artery fix reverse memory loss?

NCT ID NCT03121209

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Columbia University Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study is trying to find out if clearing a severely blocked neck artery can reverse memory and thinking problems in people who have no other stroke symptoms. It is enrolling 385 people from a larger stroke prevention trial who have both the artery blockage and signs of reduced brain blood flow. Researchers will compare if those who get a procedure to open the artery do better on memory tests one year later than those who only receive medication.
