MRI scan method test for early spinal lesions in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 18 or older
- Have CIS or relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
- Have spinal cord symptoms for less than 6 months
- You may qualify even if a later MRI still shows no clear lesion
- Be able and willing to sign informed consent

This study uses MRI scans to predict how quickly disability may worsen in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk of progression earlier.
This trial uses MRI scans to monitor spinal cord changes in people newly diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS who have not yet started treatment. It aims to better understand how the disease progresses and could help guide early treatment decisions.
This study tests a special type of MRI called Phase Sensitive Inversion Recovery to find brain lesions (areas of damage) in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to catch these lesions earlier to help guide treatment.
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 advanced MRI scans to see how they can help doctors better understand multiple sclerosis (MS). It compares images from people with MS to those without MS to find differences that may improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study uses detailed MRI scans to look at brain “white matter” and “gray matter” changes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers better understand how MS affects the brain and relates to symptoms.
