Nutrition and Muscle Strength in Multiple Sclerosis With Swallowing Difficulty
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how nutritional status and muscle function relate to each other in people with multiple sclerosis who have difficulty swallowing. Understanding this connection may help doctors better support patients with MS who struggle with eating and drinking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how MS affects the strength of your breathing muscles and leg muscles. If you join, you will have tests to measure your muscle strength, walking ability, and fatigue. This may help doctors understand how to better treat MS-related weakness.
This study looks at how chewing, thinking, and nutrition are connected in people with multiple sclerosis. By participating, you'll help researchers understand these links, which could lead to better care for MS symptoms.
This study looks at how common muscle loss and weakness are in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) at different stages of the disease. It also checks how muscle loss relates to everyday function. The goal is to better understand these issues to improve care.
This study looks at how people with multiple sclerosis chew food when they are doing another task at the same time. It helps researchers understand how MS affects everyday activities like eating.
This study tests whether the MIND diet (a combination of the Mediterranean and DASH diets) can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants will receive meals and be monitored remotely, so you can take part from home.
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.
