What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate how adverse childhood experiences (ACE) affect the quality of life and coping strategies of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Participants, diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS, will complete surveys during their regular medical visits to assess the influence of childhood trauma on their disease management and treatment adherence. The study seeks to understand the relationship between early negative experiences and their long-term effects on health outcomes in MS patients.
