Light therapy for vision after optic neuritis in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether light stimulation can help improve vision after optic neuritis in people with multiple sclerosis. It may offer a way to support eye recovery without medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, clinically isolated syndrome, or no signs of chronic brain inflammation.
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You had optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve) 1 to 3 months ago.
- You do not have epilepsy or migraines triggered by light.
- You do not have retinal diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration.

This study looks at how the eye-to-brain visual pathways work in people who have had optic neuritis symptoms for less than 4 weeks. It may help researchers better understand neuro-inflammatory (nerve inflammation) disorders and improve future care.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether clemastine can help regrow the protective covering around the optic nerve after acute optic neuritis (an inflammation-related vision problem). It may help improve vision recovery and signal how well “remyelination” happens.
This study aims to create a tool to predict how people recover after an episode of optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve). If you've had optic neuritis before, joining this research could help doctors better understand what to expect and provide more tailored care.
This study evaluates new guidelines for diagnosing optic neuritis, a condition where the nerve that carries vision becomes inflamed. If you have sudden vision loss in one or both eyes and your doctor thinks optic neuritis might be the cause, this trial will help confirm the diagnosis using updated diagnostic criteria.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck, which may help repair the protective coating around nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with relapsing-remitting MS who are stable on their current medication and have some vision problems due to MS.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current, like a light flicker, can help people with optic neuropathy (damage to the nerve connecting the eye to the brain). You would attend 30 sessions over 8 weeks. It might improve your vision if you still have some sight left.
