Brain scans may predict eye recovery

NCT ID NCT04448938

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether a special type of MRI, called resting-state fMRI, can predict how well people with optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve) will recover their vision. Researchers will scan 200 patients and track their vision over 6 months. The goal is to see if brain activity patterns can forecast recovery.
