MRI brain scan study in hereditary retinal vision loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses functional MRI (a type of brain scan) to understand how the brain processes vision in people with inherited retinal disorders. You might be included if you are an adult with hereditary retinal degeneration and are planning certain vision-related treatments soon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a diagnosis of hereditary retinal dystrophy or hereditary macular disease
- You are getting an artificial-vision treatment (like a retinal implant) or optogenetics in the next 6 months
- You can give informed consent to join the study
- You need to be able to use MRI access through your social security plan

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 MRI scans to look at brain structure in people with glaucoma compared to healthy controls. It aims to understand how glaucoma affects the brain over time, which may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
This study looks at whether patterns in eye images can reveal clues about brain health and overall diseases. By comparing your eye scans with your brain MRI, researchers hope to find new ways to detect systemic conditions early.
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
