Understanding the Relationship Between Controlling Risk Factors and Cerebral Haemodynamic Changes in Lacunar Stroke, and Its Interaction With Ageing
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
The goal of this observational study is to look at differences in brain blood flow before and after management of risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes in patients with lacunar stroke. Participants will be asked to undergo a simple brain blood flow assessment at their initial appointment, whereby they will be asked to sit and stand twice. The patients will then be asked for a follow-up assessment 4 weeks after, identical to the first. This will allow us to look at any changes in brain blood flow from before management of risk factors and 4 weeks after management of risk factors.

Treatments
Lacunar Stroke Syndrome Patients
Patients who have been diagnosed with lacunar stroke syndrome. This is a non-intervention study so no intervention will be given. However, the investigators will observe the changes in cerebral haemodynamics of this group before and after they have been given medications to help control hypertension and/or diabetes which are common risk factors of lacunar stroke syndrome.
