Current status and research advances in the treatment of cerebral small vessel disease
Cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)refers to a series of clinical,imaging,and pathological syndromes caused by various factors that affect intracerebral small arteries and their distal branches,arterioles,capillaries,venules,and small veins.CSVD has a complex etiology,an insidious onset,and significant clinical heterogeneity,which can lead to disability and greatly threatens the health and life of people.In recent years,the development of neuroimaging technol-ogy has greatly promoted the screening and diagnosis of CSVD,but there are still limited effective therapies for CSVD.This article reviews and summarizes the current treatment status and research advances in CSVD in recent years,including traditional treatment methods and potential therapeutic targets,and analyzes the future development directions in this field,so as to explore the effective treatment strategies for CSVD.
