Official title

Pilot Study of a Dietary Intervention for Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Brief summary

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

The goal of this project is to establish the feasibility of dietary research in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients as well as to provide preliminary data to support future clinical trials of diet in MS. This project is a pilot randomized trial of a dietary intervention in MS patients. The dietary intervention was designed to include dietary components that have been suggested to be of benefit in MS through basic science research and observational-type studies in MS patients and to exclude those that have been suggested to be detrimental. It is therefore rich in foods that are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly omega-3 fatty acids), foods that are high in polyphenols and antioxidant vitamins such as berries and other fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grains, and excludes meat other than fish as well as dairy and refined sugars and limits salt. Subjects are randomly assigned to the dietary intervention or to the non-intervention group. The non-intervention group will be invited to attend regular meetings with a focus on wellness in MS however will not receive specific dietary instructions. At the end of the study those who were not in the dietary intervention group will have the opportunity to receive all of the materials used during the study should they wish to begin the diet.
