Summary
This study looks at whether improving diet quality and reducing calories can help physical function, thinking, pain, fatigue, mood, and anxiety in 100 adults with relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Participants receive prepared meals and behavioral support over 32 weeks. The goal is to see if these dietary changes can ease MS symptoms and improve quality of life.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to help manage symptoms like fatigue, pain, and mobility issues in multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (100 participants) testing behavioral changes, not a drug. Results may not apply to all MS patients, and dietary adherence can be challenging.
