NCT ID NCT02664623
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether personalized dietary advice from a dietitian helps people with multiple sclerosis (MS) get more calcium in their diet. 182 MS patients who could still walk were split into two groups: one received one-on-one dietitian sessions, the other got a standard advice sheet. The goal was to see if personalized guidance leads to higher calcium intake and better bone health over 6 months.
