Can diet and exercise rival MS drugs? new study investigates

This study aims to find out if a comprehensive lifestyle program—including a specific diet, exercise, and stress reduction—can be as effective as standard drug treatments for people newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) or its early stage (CIS). It follows 44 participants who choose either the lifestyle program or usual drug-based care for one year. The main goal is to see if the lifestyle approach is not worse than drugs at improving quality of life, reducing fatigue, and managing other MS symptoms.
