Brain function in visual snow syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses visual tests and brain scans to understand how the brain processes vision in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without. It may help researchers learn more about what causes this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have normal or glasses-corrected vision (20/25 or better in each eye).
- You live within 2 hours of the study site in Minnesota.
- You are fluent in English or another language with available translation services.
- You do not have any other eye problems (like crossed eyes or color blindness).
- You can lie still for at least an hour and have no metal in your body that would prevent an MRI.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of your brain, to explore how people with visual snow syndrome, color blindness, or normal vision perceive light patterns. This may help understand why visual snow happens and how to treat it.
This trial tests if mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can help people with visual snow syndrome. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
This study uses a very strong MRI brain scanner to better understand conditions like migraine, visual snow, or epilepsy that don’t fully respond to treatment. You may be able to join if you meet specific diagnosis and safety requirements for the scanner.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
This study tests how the brain processes visual information. It's for healthy adults with normal color vision and good eyesight.
This study uses brain stimulation and brain imaging (MRI) along with vision tests to understand how the brain supports seeing. You might be eligible if you are a healthy adult and can safely complete MRI and stimulation tasks.
