Official title

Phase II Study of the Effects of Stress Management on Neuroimaging, Clinical, Immune and Psychosocial Outcomes

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

There is a growing body of literature showing that stressful life events can increase the risk of developing exacerbations and new brain lesions among people with multiple sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the hypothesis that stress management programs can reduce the occurrence of new brain lesions and exacerbations. We will also examine potential immune and neuroendocrine pathways.
