New MRI scans reveal hidden brain changes after first MS symptoms
NCT ID NCT03692975
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study used a special MRI technique to look at tiny brain changes in people who recently had a first episode of symptoms that could lead to multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers compared 84 participants (patients and healthy controls) to see if early memory problems are linked to microscopic damage in the hippocampus, a brain area key for memory. The goal was to better understand how MS starts, not to test a treatment.
