Summary
This study tested whether methylphenidate, a well-known drug used for ADHD, can reduce the mental fatigue that many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience. Thirty-six adults with MS took both the drug and a placebo at different times, without knowing which they were getting. The goal was to see if the drug improves energy and thinking speed, giving doctors solid evidence for a new treatment option.
