Brain aging in MS and healthy people
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares how the brain ages in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. It uses MRI scans and other tests to understand brain aging better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You either have multiple sclerosis (MS) with mild disability (able to walk without help) or are a healthy person.
- You have no other serious brain or nerve diseases (migraine is okay).
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants, tattoos near the head, claustrophobia, or pregnancy).
- You have not smoked in the last 10 years, and you don't have a body mass index over 30.

This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
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 looks at how the gut may influence the brain in normal aging and conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand new ways to measure or treat these brain changes over time.
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.
This research study uses MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)—a safe, non-invasive scanner—to take detailed pictures of your brain and understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects it over time. You may qualify whether you have MS or are a healthy volunteer for comparison.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects MRI scans and other measurements in the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. It may help researchers better understand MS changes over time, using follow-up visits and, in the future, donated tissue after death.
