MRI test of eye blood flow in specific optic nerve conditions
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure blood flow to the eye and check how consistently the results match over time. It may help doctors better assess certain optic nerve problems, especially in people without major cardiovascular risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these diagnoses: TAO optic neuropathy, inflammatory optic neuropathy, or ischemic optic neuropathy.
- You do not have cardiovascular risk factors (for example, major heart or blood vessel risks) and do not have other eye conditions besides the target one.
- You can follow the study instructions exactly as described in the patient information document.
- You are able to sign the informed consent form to join.
- You have no MRI contraindications (for example, pacemaker, metal in your body, or a cochlear implant).
- You do not have severe claustrophobia (extreme fear of enclosed spaces).

This study checks how well a special MRI scan (diffusion-weighted imaging) can identify a specific optic nerve problem called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced). If you have symptoms that suggest this condition, the trial compares your MRI findings to doctors’ assessment to see if the scan helps confirm the diagnosis.
This study uses a special MRI method to measure how much blood is reaching the brain in children with certain artery problems. It may help doctors better assess these conditions during routine care and imaging.
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 measures how blood flow in the eye changes in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who previously had optic neuritis. The goal is to understand eye/brain blood-flow signals and how they may relate to MS.
This study uses a new type of MRI to look at the optic nerve in people who have vision loss from optic neuritis. It may help doctors understand your condition better without extra procedures.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to check the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It may help doctors understand small vessel disease in the brain and find easier ways to monitor it.
