Aging and nerve repair in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how aging affects the brain's ability to repair the protective coating around nerves (myelin) in people with MS. It tests methods to measure this repair process and may help find ways to slow down disability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 is a long-term observational study—it does not test a new drug but follows people with certain nerve and immune conditions (like multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and others) to learn more about how these diseases progress. By joining, you help researchers gather valuable data that could improve care for others with similar conditions.
This study compares how the brain ages in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. It uses MRI scans and other tests to understand brain aging better.
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 trial tests whether the drug ifenprodil can help repair the protective coating around nerves in people with relapsing-remitting MS. The goal is to see if it can improve vision-related nerve function, which may indicate overall nerve repair.
This study looks at how the gut may influence the brain in normal aging and conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand new ways to measure or treat these brain changes over time.
