This study is looking at how a special eating plan, called the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet, might affect brain health and symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). You would be randomly assigned to either follow the MIND diet for one year with support, or continue your usual diet while receiving MS-related education. Researchers will measure changes in a blood marker called neurofilament light chain (NfL), which can indicate nerve damage, at the beginning, 6 months, and 12 months. To join, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old, have an MS diagnosis, and have a MIND diet score of 8 or less at the start. The study aims to enroll 100 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
