First seen Jun 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study used advanced MRI scans to look at energy use in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if early signs of energy problems could predict nerve damage over two years. 59 participants (40 with MS and 19 healthy) had brain scans to measure energy levels and brain thickness. The study did not test any treatment, but aimed to better understand how MS causes long-term disability.
