Hidden hunger in MS: new study probes link between malnutrition and disability
NCT ID NCT07497126
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study measures how common malnutrition is in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and whether it is linked to disability. Researchers will assess nutritional status, body composition, and other factors like depression and incontinence in 169 RRMS patients and compare them to healthy controls. No treatments are tested; the goal is to better understand the relationship between nutrition and MS disability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could highlight the need for nutritional screening in MS care, potentially improving quality of life through early dietary support.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all MS patients, and the link between malnutrition and disability may be complex.
