Stomach and liver symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how often people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have stomach, bowel, or liver problems. Researchers want to understand if these symptoms are linked to MS itself, which could help improve care in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) according to the 2017 McDonald criteria.
- You are currently in the recovery phase and taking disease-modifying therapy (DMT) for MS.
- You have digestive or liver symptoms—such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, reflux, difficulty swallowing, or abnormal liver tests—that are not explained by another known cause like hepatitis, metabolic disorders (e.g., Wilson's disease, hemochromatosis), or alcohol use.
- You do not have a pre-existing digestive disorder diagnosed before your MS diagnosis.
- You are willing to sign an informed consent form and commit to follow-up visits and regular MRI scans.

This study compares blood markers to help tell multiple sclerosis (MS) apart from a similar condition called neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). It may help find more accurate ways to diagnose these conditions.
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 looks at adults who have known or possible problems in the digestive system or liver. It may help patients by offering structured evaluation and follow-up for their condition.
This study looks at whether breast or colorectal cancer survivors are more likely to develop a liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease not caused by alcohol). It uses blood tests, imaging, and possibly an MRI to check liver health.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet can help people with multiple sclerosis. You would follow a special high-fat, low-carb diet for a period, and the researchers will check its effects on your symptoms and overall health.
This study looks at how a specific gut bacteria (Ruminococcus gnavus) and the chemicals it makes are linked to a type of fatty liver disease called MAFLD. By joining, you'll help researchers understand this connection, which may lead to better treatments in the future.
