Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 10 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Patients confirmed with Moyamoya disease.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with MMD: Conventional angiography or MRI examination conforms to the Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of MMD (Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo) 52, 245-266, 2012), It is characterized by stenosis or occlusion of the end of the internal carotid artery, anterior cerebral artery and/or the beginning of the middle cerebral artery of unknown cause, accompanied by dilatation of the perforating artery at the base of the brain or of capillaries on the surface of the brain, i.e., the formation of smoke vessels. Sign the informed consent. Older than 10 and younger than 60. The education level of patients reached primary school or above (years of education ≥6).

Who cannot join

  • Patients with massive cerebral infarction, multiple paraventricular ischemic foci, or significantly enlarged ventricular hydrocephalus after intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients with vascular diseases caused by immune system disease. Patients can not cooperate to complete the cognitive function test. There are other neuropsychiatric diseases that affect cognitive function (such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, anxiety disorder, cerebral hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, craniocerebral trauma, etc.). Patients with contraindications of magnetic resonance examination (patients with pacemakers, nerve stimulators, artificial metal heart valves and other metal foreign bodies) or unable to complete image collection.

About this study

Official title: Imaging Investigation on the Evolution and Prognosis of Moyamoya Disease

To investigate the evolution of imaging appearances and cognitive function of Moyamoya disease (MMD) and to establish a prognosis evaluation system based on imaging biomarkers in MMD. The study may be helpful to optimize and improve the diagnosis and pretreatment assessment of MMD, and provide an important theoretical supplement to the existing guidelines for the management of MMD.

Read the detailed description

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by chronic progressive stenosis or occlusion of bilateral internal carotid arteries and abnormal puff vessels at the base of the brain. MMD is one of the important causes of cerebrovascular accident in young and middle-aged people, which leads to about 22% of stroke. With the development of neurosurgery, revascularization can effectively reduce the risk of stroke and other cerebrovascular accidents by increasing cerebral perfusion. Therefore, this project is expected to improve the diagnosis and pretreatment assessment of MMD from the traditional level of symptomatology to the level of brain cognitive function through new imaging methods and clinical approaches. The study of cognitive function changes in follow-up period or after revascularization, which is of great scientific significance for understanding the plasticity of cognitive function under different cerebral perfusion conditions, will also be conducted.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Cognitive decline

    Cognitive decline was defined as decreasing in any of the scale below. Choice reaction time was used as the baseline condition and the index of movement ability. Nonverbal matrix reasoning was used to assess general intelligence and reasoning ability. The Eight-item Interview to Differentiate Aging and Dementia questionnaire was used to determine the degree of cognitive decline in daily life. The mental rotation was used to evaluate the visual-spatial ability. Verbal working memory was used to measure working memory capacity. All cognitive assessment were tested using an Online Psychological Experimental System.

    Measured: 1-5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes of functional connectivity

    Changes of the pattern of functional connectivity assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging from baseline to the follow-up scan.

    Measured: 1-5 years

  2. Changes of perfusion status

    Changes of the severity of hypoperfusion (hypoperfusion volume) on magnetic resonance imaging from baseline to the follow-up scan.

    Measured: 1-5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Moyamoya Disease and Revascularization, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jinhao Lyu (+8615903562929, 330322990@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Cognitive decline (time frame: 1-5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Dec 2022.
