Brain scans may predict who benefits from moyamoya surgery
NCT ID NCT06634004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses advanced MRI scans to measure blood flow in the brains of 100 adults with moyamoya disease, a condition that narrows major brain arteries and raises stroke risk. Participants will have scans and cognitive tests before and after their clinically needed surgery. The goal is to learn how surgery improves brain health and to develop better tools for predicting stroke risk and guiding treatment decisions.
