Tracking brain changes in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain brain changes relate to disability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It aims to see if measuring brain volume loss can help predict disease progression, which might help tailor treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 55 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with MS using the 2017 McDonald criteria.
- For the active MS group: you have had recent disease activity (like new lesions on MRI or a relapse in the last year) and are starting or about to start certain MS medications.
- For the progressive MS group: you have not had relapses in the last two years and have shown progressive disability or brain volume loss.
- You are eligible for MRI scans (no medical reason you cannot have one).

This study looks at why some people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) get worse even when they don't have relapses. It uses eye scans and other tests to find early signs of progression, which could help tailor treatments.
This study looks at whether people with relapsing-remitting MS can experience symptom flare-ups (relapses) that don't show up on MRI scans. Researchers want to understand if this happens and what it means for your care.
This study uses MRI scans to predict how quickly disability may worsen in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk of progression earlier.
This early study uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to measure “synapse density” (how many connection points brain cells have) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS biology and improve future treatments.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects MRI scans and other measurements in the brain, spinal cord, and eyes. It may help researchers better understand MS changes over time, using follow-up visits and, in the future, donated tissue after death.
This study looks at how switching or failing multiple sclerosis (MS) treatments affects your feelings and daily life. It may help doctors better support people with relapsing-remitting MS.
