Brain scans for migraine, visual snow, or epilepsy symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a very strong MRI brain scanner to better understand conditions like migraine, visual snow, or epilepsy that don’t fully respond to treatment. You may be able to join if you meet specific diagnosis and safety requirements for the scanner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read, understand, and sign the consent form
- You are on stable migraine-preventing medicine for the last 2 months (if applicable)
- You fit one of these groups: migraine (at least 2 attacks per month), drug-resistant epilepsy, or visual snow syndrome
- You agree not to have Botox for migraine within 4 months before and during the study
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you won’t plan pregnancy during the study
- You can safely do the MRI: no metal in your body, no pacemaker, and you’re not too claustrophobic; BMI must be 35 or less

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects noninvasive brain scan data (mainly MRI, sometimes MEG) from people being evaluated for focal epilepsy surgery, and from healthy volunteers. It aims to build reference “normal” brain images and improve how doctors plan and interpret epilepsy surgery evaluations.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure brain activity in people with migraine compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the brain's electrical signals differ in migraine, which could lead to better treatments.
This study uses visual tests and brain scans to understand how the brain processes vision in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without. It may help researchers learn more about what causes this condition.
This early-phase study uses a special MRI approach to look for signs that the “blood-brain barrier” is breaking down in people with drug-resistant epilepsy. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain and guide future treatments, though it is primarily a testing/study study.
This study uses a very powerful MRI scanner to get detailed images of the brain. It aims to help doctors better understand and plan surgery for people with epilepsy that doesn't improve with medication.
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
