A New MRI Scan for Optic Neuritis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have sudden vision loss in one eye that started less than a month ago and hurts.
- Your doctor has sent you for an MRI with contrast dye.
- You have not had optic neuritis in either eye before.
- You do not have eye conditions like severe nearsightedness or retina disease that could explain your symptoms.
- You do not have glaucoma or diabetes.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 study tests whether a new medication called privosegtor can help restore vision in people who recently experienced sudden vision loss in one eye due to optic nerve inflammation. You would receive the study drug early after your symptoms start, when treatment may be most effective.
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 trial uses special MRI scans to look at the optic nerve in people with optic neuritis, which is inflammation of the nerve that connects the eye to the brain. The scans may help doctors better understand and monitor the condition, especially in people who also have multiple sclerosis or similar diseases.
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.
