Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →Researchers at Cedars-Sinai are trying to better understand how multiple sclerosis and related nerve conditions damage the eyes and nervous system over time. They're collecting medical records, imaging scans, and optional blood samples from people with MS, related conditions, and healthy volunteers to look for patterns and early warning signs that could help doctors catch and treat these diseases sooner.
Right now, doctors don't have reliable early warning signs to predict when MS will get worse or cause vision problems. This study aims to find new markers in blood and imaging that could help doctors identify patients at higher risk and intervene earlier with treatment.

You'll start by sharing your medical records and MRI scans that were already done as part of your regular care. Then, you can choose to participate in optional additional steps, which may include a blood draw, a vision assessment, or a research MRI scan. The study has no set end date — you can stay involved as long as you want and remain eligible. If you do the optional parts, Cedars-Sinai will provide parking vouchers to help cover your visit costs.
