Using eye scans to study brain diseases
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a type of eye scan (OCT) to look at the retina in people with brain conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or migraines. It aims to see if these scans can help doctors learn more about the disease and monitor it over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a brain condition such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or migraines.
- You do not have certain eye diseases that might affect the scan results.

This study uses advanced eye scans (OCT and retinal vessel imaging) to look for patterns in the retina that might be different in people with Multiple Sclerosis and other neuroinflammatory diseases. The goal is to find markers that could help doctors better understand and monitor these conditions.
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCT-A) and a vision test (perimetry) to see how MS affects the eyes over time. It may help doctors better understand and monitor MS-related eye damage.
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
This study uses a special, low-cost eye scanner to look at the back of the eye (retina) in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It aims to find changes that might help with early detection.
