Better MRI for spinal cord inflammation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a new MRI technique called MP2RAGE to see if it can better detect spinal cord damage caused by inflammatory diseases like multiple sclerosis. If you already need a spinal MRI for your condition, this extra scan may help doctors find problems earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an inflammatory disease affecting your brain or spinal cord (like multiple sclerosis or transverse myelitis).
- You will be having an MRI of your spinal cord as part of your regular care.
- You agree to take part in the study and are covered by health insurance.
- You are not pregnant and do not have any reason you cannot safely have an MRI (like a pacemaker or metal implant).

This trial tests a new 3D MRI scan technique to find small, focused spinal cord lesions earlier in people with multiple sclerosis or early MS signs. It may help doctors detect changes sooner, even if lesions are not clearly visible on the first scan.
This trial uses MRI scans to monitor spinal cord changes in people newly diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS who have not yet started treatment. It aims to better understand how the disease progresses and could help guide early treatment decisions.
This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at brain inflammation in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It may help researchers understand how inflammation changes when starting a stronger MS treatment.
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan and an MRI to look at nerve-related inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to see whether this scan can detect MS-related changes, which could improve how MS is studied in the future.
This study uses brain scans to look for hidden inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis who have not yet started a strong treatment. It aims to understand how this inflammation affects the disease and to help guide future therapies.
This study tests a new portable brain MRI to see if it can help diagnose multiple sclerosis. It may be easier to use than regular machines.
