Clinical trials: Cerebral Perfusion
Healthy Brain Perfusion
Improving Human Cerebrovascular Function Using Acute Intermittent Hypoxia
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether 3 weeks of repeated exposure to Acute Intermittent Hypoxia can improve brain blood flow or blood flow regulation in healthy adults.

Alzheimer's Disease
Statin Effects on Beta-Amyloid and Cerebral Perfusion in Adults at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of the research is to see how simvastatin affects a substance in the body called beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is found in the brain and in the liquid around the brain and spinal cord.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Enhancement of Cerebral Vasoreactivity and Cognition by Intranasal Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes
Our goal is to determine the acute effects of intranasal insulin on regional perfusion and cognition of older adults. We propose a pilot study to examine the effect of a single dose of intranasal insulin on regional…

Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis
Measuring Cerebral Blood Flow Using Pseudo-continuous Arterial Spin Labeling Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging
This study will test a new MRI sequence that measures cerebral blood flow (CBF). Because this technique for measuring CBF is new, there is little information on what the normal values for different regions of the brain should be.
- Conditions
- Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's Disease, Tumor
- Trial name
- NCT02767609
- Testing
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Physical Activity, Aging
Independent Walking for Brain Health
Physical activity interventions with older adults can improve brain health; however most interventions have been performed in gym-like settings that reach a small sector of the senior population.

Alzheimer Disease, Dementia
Semantic Memory, Financial Capacity, and Brain Perfusion in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) (CASL)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) often manifests as a memory disorder before dementia develops. Dementia is considered to be present when a person can no longer handle complex activities of daily living, such as managing finances.
