Using brain MRI to detect early white matter disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a special type of MRI can find brain white matter changes early. It might help people who have early symptoms or are at risk for diseases affecting the brain's wiring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your doctor suspects you might have early white matter disease (a condition affecting the brain's communication cables).
- You have not been diagnosed with a major brain problem like a stroke or brain tumor.
- You are able to understand and agree to the study procedures.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have any metal implants or a pacemaker that would make an MRI unsafe.

This study uses brain MRI scans to look at white matter changes in people with memory problems (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how these changes relate to memory loss.
This study uses detailed MRI scans to look at brain “white matter” and “gray matter” changes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers better understand how MS affects the brain and relates to symptoms.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at white matter changes in the brain (often linked to memory problems). It may help doctors understand more about these changes in older adults visiting memory or geriatric clinics.
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the brain's memory center in people with early memory concerns. It aims to better understand changes that happen in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
This study aims to improve MRI scan settings used when studying brain diseases that affect memory and movement. You would be asked to undergo MRI scanning as a healthy volunteer to help optimize the imaging process.
