Better MRI 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 recently had optic neuritis (inflammation of the nerve that connects the eye to the brain). The goal is to see if this MRI can give doctors better information about the condition, which may help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have sudden, painful vision loss in one eye that started within the last month
- Your doctor has referred you for an MRI with contrast dye
- You agree to take part in the study
- You have not had optic neuritis before (in either eye)
- You do not have other eye diseases (like severe myopia, retinopathy, or glaucoma)
- You do not have diabetes

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 is checking whether a new 2022 set of diagnostic rules correctly identifies optic neuritis, which is inflammation of the nerve that connects your eye to your brain. If you've recently had vision problems and doctors suspect this condition, participating could help confirm the diagnosis and shape future care.
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 study uses special MRI scans to look at the optic nerve in people with optic neuritis and related nerve conditions. It aims to better understand how the nerve is affected, which may help guide future treatment.
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.
