Special MRI scans to study optic nerve inflammation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at the optic nerve in people with optic neuritis and related nerve conditions. It aims to better understand how the nerve is affected, which may help guide future treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have symptoms or a diagnosis of optic neuritis (swelling of the optic nerve that can cause vision problems).
- You must have multiple sclerosis or another condition that affects the protective coating of nerves.
- Your optic neuritis must not be caused by an injury or trauma to the eye or head.
- You must be able to safely have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, or other medical devices that are not MRI-safe).

This study uses a new type of MRI to look at the optic nerve in people who have recently had optic neuritis (inflammation of the nerve that connects the eye to the brain). The goal is to see if this MRI can give doctors better information about the condition, which may help guide treatment.
This study uses a special MRI scan while you rest to look for brain and eye signals that may relate to recovery in people with suspected optic neuritis. If you’re eligible, it may help researchers better understand what predicts vision improvement.
This study checks how well a special MRI scan (diffusion-weighted imaging) can identify a specific optic nerve problem called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced). If you have symptoms that suggest this condition, the trial compares your MRI findings to doctors’ assessment to see if the scan helps confirm the diagnosis.
This study looks at how the eye-to-brain visual pathways work in people who have had optic neuritis symptoms for less than 4 weeks. It may help researchers better understand neuro-inflammatory (nerve inflammation) disorders and improve future care.
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 a special MRI scan to measure blood flow to the eye and check how consistently the results match over time. It may help doctors better assess certain optic nerve problems, especially in people without major cardiovascular risk factors.
