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 that helps predict how well people may recover after optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve that can affect vision). By participating, you can help doctors better understand and forecast outcomes for future patients.
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.
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.
