What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to determine whether adherence to the MIND diet, a dietary pattern designed to enhance brain health, can improve cognitive performance and memory in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Participants will receive either a MIND diet meal or a control meal delivered to their homes daily for three months. They will complete online surveys and cognitive assessments before and after the intervention, while also keeping a food diary. The study is conducted entirely remotely, ensuring accessibility for participants.
