MS nerve damage unmasked: eye scans reveal hidden loss
NCT ID NCT06776224
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how nerve cells in the eye are lost in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) even when there is no active inflammation. Researchers followed 64 adults with relapsing-remitting MS who were already part of a larger study. By using special eye scans over time, they aimed to better understand the hidden nerve damage that happens in MS.
