Brain wave scans for children with immune or other neurological diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a non-invasive brain scan called MEG to look at brain activity in children with neurological conditions, such as autoimmune encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, or stroke. It aims to better understand these diseases and could help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 2 and 16 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with an immune-mediated neurological disease (e.g., autoimmune encephalitis, ADEM, multiple sclerosis) or, if aged 2 to 15 years 11 months, a non-immune neurological disease (e.g., stroke).
- You can provide consent, or a parent/guardian can consent for you if you are under 16.
- You have no metal in your body or other reason that would make an MRI unsafe, and you do not usually need sedation for MRI scans.

This study uses MRI scans to look at how multiple sclerosis affects the outer layer of the brain over time. It aims to learn more about the disease to help improve future treatments.
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.
This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
This study uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) to look at brain activity in children with conditions like seizures, brain tumors, autism, and others. It may help doctors learn more about how these conditions affect the brain.
This trial tests an imaging method that measures brain signals without using X-rays. It may help researchers understand brain activity in healthy adults, newborns, premature babies, and pregnant people by testing whether the scan can be done reliably and safely.
