Read our Multiple Sclerosis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether the MIND diet—a Mediterranean-style eating plan designed to support brain health—can help people with multiple sclerosis manage their symptoms and protect their nervous system. Half of the participants will be asked to change their diet to follow the MIND diet for one year, while the other half will continue eating as they normally do. The study will track how this dietary change affects brain health markers, physical function, and thinking abilities.
Diet may play an important role in protecting the brain and managing symptoms in people with MS, but we don't yet have clear evidence about how specific eating patterns affect the condition. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether this treatment can safely and effectively support brain health in MS.

You will visit the research clinic at the beginning, at 6 months, and at 12 months to complete health assessments, answer questions online, and provide blood and stool samples. If you are in the diet group, you'll attend weekly virtual group meetings for the first month, then monthly meetings for the rest of the year, where a dietitian will teach you about the MIND diet and support you in making dietary changes. If you're in the comparison group, you'll attend at least 6 virtual meetings focused on general MS education. Throughout the year, you'll also join small group discussions with other participants to share your experiences and challenges.
