Sleep hormone tested to halt debilitating MS progression

NCT ID NCT03540485

Summary

This study aimed to see if adding the hormone melatonin to the standard drug ocrelizumab could safely help slow down disability in people with a fast-progressing form of multiple sclerosis (MS). It involved 25 adults with primary progressive MS who were already stable on ocrelizumab. Participants took either melatonin or a placebo pill daily for two years while researchers tracked their disability, brain changes, and quality of life.
