Filter by:Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a result of neurovascular cell dysfunction, is a major cause of stroke, dementia and mobility problems worldwide. Vascular risk factor control alone may not be sufficient to prevent the development of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in patients with cSVD according to previous clinical trials. The presence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) in cerebral microglia may reveal a potential therapeutic target for prevention of cSVD progression and its disabling clinical outcomes. At the cellular and animal experimentation levels, GLP-1R agonist demonstrated reversal of some pathogenic processes in cSVD. However, its application to cSVD patients remains to be elucidated. Investigator aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of GLP-1R agonist in patients with moderate-to-severe cSVD.
Cerebral small Vessel Disease (cSVD), characterized by an alteration of the structure and function of small penetrating brain arteries, is highly prevalent in older persons from the general population and represents a leading cause of stroke and a major contributor to cognitive decline and dementia risk. In France >4 million persons aged 60+ are estimated to have moderate to extensive covert cSVD (ccSVD), i.e. features of SVD on brain imaging without a history of clinical stroke. Better detection and management of covert cSVD would have a major impact on preventing disability and costs related to stroke, cognitive impairment and dementia. However, there are no specific mechanistic treatments for cSVD and hardly any recommendations worldwide on how to prevent and treat cSVD and related cognitive impairment. The aim of the present study, through the identification of novel cutting-edge multimodal biomarkers, is to develop innovative diagnostic and risk prediction tools for cSVD and its complications and to contribute to accelerating the discovery of novel drug targets and therapeutics strategies for cSVD.
Cognitive impairment and dementia are primarily due to a combination of vascular brain injury and neurodegenerative lesions. The vascular component is now recognized as a major contributor to the pathophysiology of dementia, with small vessel disease (SVD) being its most frequent substrate. This study aims to collect retinal microvascular markers as well as various parameters related to blood pressure and arterial stiffness, in a young adult population. The main objective is to explore the association between these parameters and structural changes on brain MRI. Results will allow to determine the most relevant biomarkers associated with very early brain imaging markers of SVD.
The purpose of this study is to determine effects of remote ischemic conditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation, blood pressure and heart rate variability in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) accounts for 20% of ischemic strokes and is the most common cause of vascular cognitive impairment. Early identification of cSVD is critical for early intervention and improve clinical outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may represent as a sensitive and robust tool to detect early changes in brain subtle structures and functions. The study is to investigate the comprehensive evaluation of brain structures and vascular functions by using advanced MRI technologies in early diagnosis and management of cSVD.
In a randomized controlled trial the feasibility and effect of three months treatment with daily tadalafil, on cerebral blood flow/reactivity and cognition, is investigated in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.
The primary objectives of this trial are: 1. Efficacy evaluation of amlodipine folic acid tablets: To assess the effects of amlodipine folic acid tablets 5.8 mg (5 mg amlodipine + 0.8 mg folic acid)versus amlodipine tablets 5 mg in preventing all-cause stroke in cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD) patients with hypertension and elevated homocysteine (Hcy) level. 2. Intensive Antihypertensive Therapy: To assess the effect of intensive antihypertensive therapy (SBP<130 mmHg) versus standard antihypertensive therapy (SBP 130-<140 mmHg) in reducing risk of combined cardio-cerebrovascular events in CSVD patients with hypertension and elevated Hcy level, using two basic anti-hypertensive drugs, amlodipine tablets 5 mg or amlodipine folic acid tablets 5.8 mg.
The aim of the study is to: - detect changes in retinal structure and microvasculature in patients with cerebral small vessel disease using optical coherence tomography angiography , correlate these changes with brain imaging markers and determine if ( OCTA ) can be used as a screening tool for cerebral small vessel disease.
The purpose of this study is to build a national image-based comprehensive evaluation platform of CSVD through longitudinal collection of imaging based medical data of patients with cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD). On this basis, the new classification and diagnostic criteria of CSVD are proposed, and the risk prediction model of CSVD is established. By evaluating the prognostic factors of CSVD, early identification of high-risk CSVD population.
This trial is a randomized, controlled, single-center, double-blind trial. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients will be recruited and randomized into RIC or control group.The protective effect of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) on CSVD will be investigated.
