MRI test study for suspected anterior optic nerve stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, 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.

- 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

This study looks at how blood flows in the optic nerve (the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain) using advanced imaging. It aims to better understand different optic nerve conditions, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
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 special MRI scans to look at the optic nerve in people with optic neuritis and related nerve conditions. It aims to better understand how the nerve is affected, which may help guide future treatment.
