NCT ID NCT07372937
First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study looks at how cerebral small vessel disease—a common brain condition in older adults—affects walking and balance. Researchers will use brain imaging and EEG to compare brain activity in 40 people with the disease and healthy controls. The goal is to understand which brain changes cause gait problems, which could lead to better therapies in the future.
