Brain inhibition in people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain's 'brakes' (cortical inhibition) may be affected in multiple sclerosis. By using brain imaging and magnetic pulses, researchers hope to better understand MS and how it may relate to thinking and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
- You are not severely disabled (score of 6.5 or less on a standard MS disability scale)
- You are either on a stable MS medication for at least 3 months, or have never taken MS medication
- You have not had a relapse or taken steroids in the last 3 months
- You are free of other neurological or psychiatric conditions, and have no history of seizures or metal implants that could interfere with MRI or TMS

This study tests a brain-computer interface that uses motor imagery (imagining moving your body) to help people with multiple sclerosis. It may help improve how your brain controls movement, even if you have mild spasticity.
This research study uses MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)—a safe, non-invasive scanner—to take detailed pictures of your brain and understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects it over time. You may qualify whether you have MS or are a healthy volunteer for comparison.
This early study uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to measure “synapse density” (how many connection points brain cells have) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS biology and improve future treatments.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, which uses a mild electrical current to improve thinking, balance, and movement in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help with daily functioning and quality of life.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects MRI scans and other measurements in the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. It may help researchers better understand MS changes over time, using follow-up visits and, in the future, donated tissue after death.
This trial uses brain MRI and eye imaging tests to study research markers in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and related neurologic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how they change over time.
