MRI test study for suspected anterior optic nerve stroke
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study checks how well a special MRI scan (diffusion-weighted imaging) can identify a specific optic nerve problem called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced). If you have symptoms that suggest this condition, the trial compares your MRI findings to doctors’ assessment to see if the scan helps confirm the diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- A specialized eye doctor suspects anterior ischemic optic neuropathy after an exam
- A brain and vision MRI has been planned for you
- You are able and willing to sign consent to join the study
- You are covered by (or connected to) a Social Security health plan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses multiple non-invasive imaging methods to evaluate blood flow in the optic nerve head for people with acute or chronic optic nerve conditions, including NAION, optic neuritis, LHON, and NTG.
This study uses a special MRI scan while you rest to look for brain and eye signals that may relate to recovery in people with suspected optic neuritis. If you’re eligible, it may help researchers better understand what predicts vision improvement.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure blood flow to the eye and check how consistently the results match over time. It may help doctors better assess certain optic nerve problems, especially in people without major cardiovascular risk factors.
This study looks at how the eye-to-brain visual pathways work in people who have had optic neuritis symptoms for less than 4 weeks. It may help researchers better understand neuro-inflammatory (nerve inflammation) disorders and improve future care.
This study looks at how early damage to the optic nerve (the nerve that connects your eye to your brain) might predict future multiple sclerosis (MS) in people who have just had their first neurological symptoms (called a clinically isolated syndrome). You will have an MRI of your eyes and a special eye scan to see if these tests can help doctors know who is more likely to develop MS.
This study uses a new type of MRI to look at the optic nerve in people who have vision loss from optic neuritis. It may help doctors understand your condition better without extra procedures.
