Optic nerve blood flow study in eye diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses multiple non-invasive imaging methods to evaluate blood flow in the optic nerve head for people with acute or chronic optic nerve conditions, including NAION, optic neuritis, LHON, and NTG.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your legal representative can sign the consent form.
- You have an acute swelling of the optic nerve head from conditions like NAION, optic neuritis, or papilledema.
- You have acute pseudoedema (false swelling) from LHON.
- You have chronic pseudoedema from LHON or optic disc drusen.
- You have chronic optic nerve disease in one eye (like NTG, DOA, or Wolfram syndrome) and we will study your healthy eye.
- You do not have other conditions that affect the optic nerve or retina, or eye cloudiness that blocks the view of the optic nerve.

This study looks at how the optic nerve (the part of your eye that sends images to your brain) strains or bends in people who do not have glaucoma. It uses advanced eye imaging and home pressure checks to understand the nerve's health.
This study uses a special imaging test (OCT angiography) to look at blood flow around the optic nerve in people with advanced glaucoma. It aims to better understand how glaucoma affects eye circulation, which may help improve future care.
This study tests new, non-invasive ways to measure how the retina (the light-sensing part of the eye) is structured and how well it works. It may help researchers better understand certain vision disorders and how to track them, without surgery or injections.
This study uses MRI scans to look at inflammation in blood vessels around the eye in two conditions: giant cell arteritis (GCA, a type of blood vessel inflammation) and ischemic optic neuropathy (a condition where the optic nerve doesn't get enough blood). The goal is to better understand how inflammation affects the optic nerve and vision, which could help guide future treatments.
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 measures how blood flows in the retina and how well the eye regulates that flow. It compares people with early or very early glaucoma to people without glaucoma to see what differences may predict progression.
