INsIDER: Imaging the Interplay Between Axonal Damage and Repair in Multiple Sclerosis


Sponsor

University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Enrollment

300 participants

Start Date

Sep 4, 2018

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This project is to: 1. Quantify differences in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients. 2. Quantify changes in axonal integrity and organization in aMS versus naPMS patients over a two-year period. 3. Validate the combination of imaging parameters that best differentiate aMS versus naPMS patients using histopathology.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using advanced MRI brain imaging to better understand how nerve fibers are damaged and then repaired over time in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers want to find better ways to track disease progression and recovery. **You may be eligible if:** - You are between 18 and 80 years old - You have been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (with active relapses or new lesions on MRI) or progressive MS (either primary or secondary) - You are a healthy volunteer with no neurological or psychiatric conditions (for the control group) **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You are pregnant - You have a contraindication to MRI (such as claustrophobia, a pacemaker, or metal implants) - You are unable to give informed consent - You have another neurological or psychiatric condition Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
