Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people who have had a stroke and other health risks. Participants will have three MRI scans over about 1.25 years to help researchers understand brain health issues.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have had a stroke.
  • I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes.
  • My MRI shows signs of cerebral small vessel disease.

You may not be able to join if

  • I cannot complete three MRI scans over 1.25 years.

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.

Think this trial could be right for you?

Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.

About This Trial

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can lead to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). The hallmark of CSVD is the appearance and progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on MRI. The goal of this study it to recruit and follow individuals at risk for WMH progression and use serial MRI scanning to gain insights into the pathogenesis of CSVD.
