Fasting-mimicking diet for multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
