Insulin resistance in Egyptians with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study is looking at whether people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in Egypt have higher rates of insulin resistance (a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin). The goal is to understand if insulin resistance is linked to MS and its different types. You would need to come to the MS clinic for a blood test and some other simple measurements.

Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) using the 2017 McDonald criteria.
- You have not had an MS relapse or taken steroid medications in the past 3 months.
- You do not have other major health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart, liver, or kidney disease.
- You are not on a special diet or taking medications that affect your metabolism (such as anti-inflammatories, cholesterol drugs, or hormone therapy).

This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
This study tests whether a combination of intermittent fasting (eating only during certain hours) and a Mediterranean diet (rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats) can help improve symptoms in women with multiple sclerosis (MS). If you are a woman with MS and not in an active flare-up, this trial may offer a new way to manage your condition through diet.
This trial tests whether following a Mediterranean diet can improve quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It aims to find a dietary approach that may help manage symptoms and improve well-being.
This study tests how your body responds to insulin by using a special test called a pancreatic clamp. It may help researchers understand insulin resistance better and find new ways to treat it.
This study tests whether a special low-calorie diet that mimics fasting can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better and reduce inflammation. Over several months, participants will follow this diet in cycles and be monitored with MRI scans and blood tests.
