Could a common virus and low vitamin d trigger MS? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07256431
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study examined 110 people with radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) — a condition where brain scans show signs that could lead to multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers looked at whether past Epstein-Barr virus infection and low vitamin D levels are linked to a higher risk of developing MS. By analyzing blood samples, they hope to find better ways to predict who will go on to develop MS and who will not.
