Ketogenic diet and exercise for MS patients who are overweight
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a modified ketogenic diet (a low-carb, high-fat eating plan) to an exercise program can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are overweight. It aims to improve weight and overall health in MS patients.

This study tests a multimodal exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being through guided exercises you can do at home.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with relapsing-remitting MS by measuring changes in brain protein levels, brain structure on MRI scans, and physical function. Researchers want to see if exercise might slow disease progression and improve quality of life.
This trial studies whether a combined exercise program (aerobic and resistance training) can improve walking, balance, and overall well-being for people with MS. It's designed for those who don't currently exercise regularly.
This trial tests whether high intensity exercise can improve both movement and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. It might help if you can walk but need some support for balance.
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 whether a strength-training program (like lifting weights or using resistance bands) can help people with multiple sclerosis feel better and move better. It is for people who can walk on their own and have been stable (no recent relapses).
