Study blood and MRI markers in people with multiple sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisParkinson DiseaseAmyotrophic Lateral SclerosisAlzheimer Disease

Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.

This study looks for signs of “synapse damage” in multiple sclerosis using blood tests and brain imaging (MRI). The goal is to find biomarkers that may help better understand MS and how it changes over time.

Study how gut signals relate to brain aging and diseases

This study looks at how the gut may influence the brain in normal aging and conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand new ways to measure or treat these brain changes over time.

Brain scans to measure synapses in multiple sclerosis

This early study uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to measure “synapse density” (how many connection points brain cells have) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS biology and improve future treatments.

Study tracks iron changes in MS brain spots over time

This study looks at how “iron rims” in brain MRI scans change over time in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS activity better and how iron changes relate to disease progression.

Brain aging and resilience MRI study

This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
