Eye-Tracking app could spot MS earlier
NCT ID NCT05776511
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a tablet-based eye-tracking app (eVOG) can detect subtle eye movement problems in people with brain MRI abnormalities (white matter lesions). The goal is to see if these eye movement patterns can help diagnose multiple sclerosis or related conditions. Researchers will compare results from 150 participants and healthy controls to determine the app's diagnostic value.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eVOG (mobile video oculography app on a tablet)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, non-invasive tool to help doctors diagnose multiple sclerosis earlier and more accurately.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage diagnostic study, not a treatment trial. The eye-tracking method may not reliably distinguish between different causes of white matter lesions, and results may not apply to broader populations.
