Brain scans may predict MS disability years in advance
NCT ID NCT05633875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether special brain scans (MRI and PET) can predict how multiple sclerosis (MS) will affect a person's disability over many years. Researchers will follow 80 adults with MS who were in earlier studies to see if certain brain changes can forecast worsening symptoms. The goal is to find better ways to measure and understand MS progression, not to test a new treatment.
