Researchers want to understand how the brains of people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis process glucose (the brain's main fuel) compared to healthy people. This study uses a special imaging technique called deuterium metabolic imaging to take detailed pictures of how your brain is working. By comparing people with MS to healthy controls, the researchers hope to find out whether changes in brain metabolism can help explain MS symptoms and severity.
People with multiple sclerosis experience different symptoms and disease progression, but doctors don't yet fully understand why some people are more severely affected than others. This research may reveal whether differences in how the brain uses energy are connected to MS disease severity, which could eventually lead to better ways to monitor or treat the condition.

You will visit the research center for one appointment lasting about three hours. During that visit, you'll have your brain scanned using a special imaging technique, complete physical and cognitive function tests (like memory or thinking tasks), and answer some survey questions about your health. The researchers will compare your results to those of healthy volunteers who are similar to you in age and sex to look for differences in how your brain processes glucose.
