Studying immune brain and nerve conditions with tests and samples
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 12 years old (or any age for the sample-storage part)
- Have symptoms or MRI findings suggesting an immune-related brain/spinal cord problem
- Be able and willing to share medical records, including past MRI results
- For in-person participation, be able to complete required procedures like MRI and lumbar puncture
- Be willing to consent to collecting biological samples (and freezing/storing them for future testing)

This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects MRI scans and other measurements in the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. It may help researchers better understand MS changes over time, using follow-up visits and, in the future, donated tissue after death.
This study is a long-term observational study—it does not test a new drug but follows people with certain nerve and immune conditions (like multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and others) to learn more about how these diseases progress. By joining, you help researchers gather valuable data that could improve care for others with similar conditions.
This study looks at different immune cells in blood and, sometimes, spinal fluid (CSF) to understand what’s driving multiple sclerosis (MS) or early MS-like symptoms. Your participation may help researchers better explain the disease and potentially improve how it’s diagnosed or treated.
This study builds a China-based group of people with neuroinflammatory and demyelination diseases and collects health and MRI (brain scan) information. It may help doctors better understand these conditions over time and improve future treatments.
This study follows people with multiple sclerosis over time to learn more about the disease and improve care. If you join, you will help researchers understand MS better, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial uses brain MRI and eye imaging tests to study research markers in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and related neurologic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how they change over time.
