NCT ID NCT06797765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive eye scan called OCTA can detect changes in the brain related to stroke and other neurological conditions. Researchers compared eye scans from 7 people with brain diseases and healthy volunteers. The goal was to gather early data to support larger studies, not to provide a treatment.
