NCT ID NCT04634994

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study uses a new type of PET scan to look at brain connections (synapses) in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will compare these scans with standard MRI and blood tests to better understand how MS damages the brain. The goal is to learn more about the disease, not to test a treatment. About 30 adults with MS and healthy volunteers will take part.
