MRI study to better scan spinal inflammation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests new MRI scan settings to see inflammatory changes in the spinal cord more clearly. It may help doctors choose better MRI images when first checking—or re-checking—spinal inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- You need a planned 3T MRI scan to check spinal cord inflammation (your first check or a follow-up)
- You agree to participate and sign informed consent
- You have coverage through a social security scheme (you’re an affiliate or beneficiary)
- You must not be pregnant, recently giving birth, or breastfeeding
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no MRI safety contraindications)

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 study uses brain and spine scans (and possibly nerve stimulation in some cases) to understand how the nervous system changes after spinal cord injury or certain spinal conditions. It may help researchers better track recovery and understand which changes are linked to symptoms like bladder problems.
This study tests a new MRI technique called MP2RAGE to see if it can better detect spinal cord damage caused by inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis. If you already need a spinal MRI for your condition, this extra scan may help doctors find problems earlier.
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 aims to improve MRI scan settings used when studying brain diseases that affect memory and movement. You would be asked to undergo MRI scanning as a healthy volunteer to help optimize the imaging process.
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.
