Using powerful MRI scans to find markers in motor neuron disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a very powerful MRI scanner (7T) to take detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord in people with motor neuron disease. The goal is to find non-invasive markers that could help diagnose and monitor the disease.

This study tests whether combining non-invasive brain stimulation (a gentle, non-surgical treatment) with exercise can help people with motor neuron disease (MND). It may improve movement and quality of life for those with mild to moderate symptoms.
This trial uses MRI scans to look for “imaging biomarkers” (scan patterns that may help track ALS). It may help researchers better understand disease changes over time and how ALS progresses.
This study uses MRI brain scans to understand how ALS affects the brain over time. It may help researchers develop better ways to measure the disease.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to see if they can provide more detailed brain images for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor MS and understand brain changes.
This study uses a very powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine to take detailed pictures of the brain in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to better understand changes in the brain and possibly find new ways to track the disease.
This study looks for early signs of nerve cell damage in the brain using a powerful MRI scanner. It may help better understand Parkinson's disease and similar conditions, which could lead to earlier diagnosis in the future.
