Overview

Moyamoya disease is characterized by progressive stenosis of the genesis of the distal internal carotid arteries bilaterally and progressive generation of compensatory pathological vascular networks at the basis cranii, and these pathological vasculature has poor vascular reactivity. Perioperative circulatory management of patients with smoky vessels to ensure perfusion of brain tissue and integrity of brain network during surgery to minimize postoperative impairment of neurological functions, including motor, sensory, emotional and cognitive functions, is the key point of perioperative circulatory management of moyamoya disease. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been routinely used in various cerebrovascular diseases to further evaluate cerebrovascular reserve and cerebral network connectivity. The purpose of this study is to observe the changes in cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygen metabolism, cerebral oxygen metabolism rate, and cerebral network connectivity in adult patients with moyamoya disease in cerebral ischemia-sensitive areas under anesthesia to provide a basis for exploring anesthesia management to improve cognitive function and cerebral network connectivity in these patients.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
