NCT ID NCT00794352
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study aims to learn more about inflammatory diseases of the brain and spinal cord, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), which may be caused by the immune system attacking the body. Researchers will compare tests from 2,400 people—both healthy volunteers and those with symptoms of immune-related nervous system damage. Participants will provide medical history, blood samples, and undergo MRI scans, with some also receiving a spinal tap and vision tests to help identify better ways to diagnose and monitor these conditions.
