MRI scan study to better detect spinal cord changes in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests new MRI scan methods to more clearly find spinal cord lesions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help improve how MS spinal cord changes are seen on scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS)
- You have been off steroid medicines for more than 4 weeks
- You take part in the Swiss MS Cohort (SMSC) study
- You do not have a pacemaker or any metal object that could interfere with MRI near the spinal cord
- You can safely receive an MRI contrast dye (gadolinium) if needed; no prior bad reaction to it

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses MRI scans to better understand how nerve fibers are damaged and repaired in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers connect scan findings to disease activity and progression.
This study uses detailed imaging (mostly MRI) to look for patterns that may explain why multiple sclerosis can worsen. It may help researchers understand the biology behind neurodegeneration and improve future care.
This study looks at whether MS relapses happen without any signs of new disease activity on an MRI scan. By tracking your symptoms and scans, researchers hope to better understand how MS affects people in real life. If you qualify, you may help improve future treatment decisions.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain and body changes after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand how the nervous system recovers over time.
This trial tests a new 3D MRI scan technique to find small, focused spinal cord lesions earlier in people with multiple sclerosis or early MS signs. It may help doctors detect changes sooner, even if lesions are not clearly visible on the first scan.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to see if they can provide more detailed brain images for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor MS and understand brain changes.
