MagNETs- Managing Transient Neurologic Episodes in Surgery for Moyamoya Disease

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the occurrence of post-operative Transient Neurologic Events (TNEs) within 30 days after surgery in people with Moyamoya Disease. The goal is to understand the causes of these events and find ways to reduce them during recovery after surgery. This observational study is sponsored by Stanford University and focuses on patients undergoing Moyamoya surgical treatment. Participants will receive the standard surgical care for Moyamoya Disease involving direct extracranial-intracranial bypass. After surgery, they will be monitored for 30 days to identify any transient neurological episodes. All interventions and assessments performed during this recovery period will be recorded to gather detailed information about factors that might contribute to TNEs. During the study, participants will undergo clinical neurological evaluations and other assessments as part of their routine care to track any TNEs. Researchers will collect data on neurological symptoms weekly during the 30 days post-surgery. The main outcome measured is the incidence of TNEs within this period. Participants will be followed closely to ensure accurate data collection and safety throughout the study duration.
