Efficacy and Safety of rTMS for Cognitive Rehabilitation in Moyamoya Disease
Moyamoya DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy in moyamoya patients who received surgical revascularization.
The Adult Hemorrhagic Moyamoya Surgery Study
MoyamoyaStrokeThe aim of this study is to investigate whether extracranial-intracranial(EC-IC) bypass surgery could prevent rebleeding and improve neurological function in adult moyamoya with hemorrhagic onset.
Neurocognitive and Radiological Assessments in Adult Moyamoya Undergoing Surgery
Moyamoya DiseaseAdult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) are reported to suffer from considerable impairment of executive function/attention. Although reduced cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) in frontal areas has been detected by perfusion MRI and then confirmed to be associated with executive dysfunction in adult MMD, the structural and functional changes is still unclear with progression of executive dysfunction. Furthermore, it is very important to study the association between the neurocognitive and radiological improvement after surgical revascularization, so as to help detecting cerebral regions which are involved in executive deterioration or improvement after surgery. Then the investigators can determine whether these regions can be used as indicators to decide rational therapeutic schedule and timing of adult MMD with executive dysfunction. Thus the aim of this study is to primarily find out the neuropsychological and radiological correlates in adult MMD, and then to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of surgical revascularization in prevention of executive dysfunction in adult MMD.

Safety and Efficacy of RIC in Pediatric Moyamoya Disease Patients Treated With Revascularization...
Moyamoya DiseasePediatricRevascularization surgery has been the standard treatment to prevent ischemic stroke in pediatric Moyamoya disease (MMD) patients with ischemic symptoms. However, perioperative complications, such as hyperperfusion syndrome, new infarct on imaging, or ischemic stroke, are inevitable. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a noninvasive and easy-to-use neuroprotective strategy, and it has potential effects on preventing hyperperfusion syndrome and ischemic infarction.
The Effect of RIC on TIA/Stroke in Children With Moyamoya Disease
Moyamoya DiseaseTIA2 moreMoyamoya disease is a common reason of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke in children. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) has been shown to prevent recurrent stroke in intracranial arterial stenosis, but it is unclear whether RIC can prevent TIA or stroke in children with moyamoya disease. This study aims to evaluate the effect of RIC on TIA/stroke in children with moyamoya disease.
Sevoflurane and Hyperperfusion Syndrome
Hyperperfusion SyndromeMoyamoya DiseaseThe aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane postconditioning on the incidence of postoperative hyperperfusion syndrome following revascularization surgery in moyamoya patients.
Characteristics and Outcomes of Childhood Moyamoya in the UK
MoyamoyaThis is a study to ascertain the number of children with moyamoya in the UK, their presenting features, clinical course and outcomes.
Internal Carotid Artery Blood Flow in Pediatric Moyamoya Patients
Carotid ArteryInternalLittle is known about how general anesthesia-induced decrease in cerebral blood flow in pediatric moyamoya pateints. We investigated this question in patients undergoing moyamoya surgery, hypothesizing that cardiorespiratory changes during this procedure would reduce cerebral perfusion.
