MRI study of brain lesions in older MS patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to compare brain lesions in older patients with multiple sclerosis versus those with small vessel disease. It aims to improve how doctors tell apart these conditions and may lead to better treatment choices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 50 and 80 years old.
- You must have either multiple sclerosis or evidence of small vessel disease on an MRI.
- If you have MS, you must already be enrolled in the AgeMS study at Oslo University Hospital.
- You must be able to have an MRI (no metal implants, claustrophobia, etc.).
- You cannot have a severe psychiatric condition like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
- You must not have a major disability unrelated to your MS or small vessel disease.

This study builds a brain imaging biobank for people with “small blood vessel disease” seen on MRI. Your MRI results can help researchers better understand these changes and track new events over time.
This study tracks people with cerebral small vessel disease (changes in the brain's tiny blood vessels) to learn more about how the condition progresses. It may be a good fit if you are 50 or older and have had an MRI showing these changes.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes in people with “small-vessel disease” of the brain. It will follow participants over time to understand the condition better and see how brain symptoms may change.
This study is a registry that collects information and brain scan findings from adults with possible small vessel disease. It may help doctors better understand how this condition looks on scans and what it is linked to.
This study looks at brain scans and eye/eye-nerve findings to understand why thinking can change with aging. It may help researchers connect eye and brain changes, which could guide future ways to prevent or detect dementia early.
This study uses detailed imaging (mostly MRI) to look for patterns that may explain why multiple sclerosis can worsen. It may help researchers understand the biology behind neurodegeneration and improve future care.
