About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Eligible Multiple sclerosis patients attending Kasr AlAiny Multiple Sclerosis Clinic will be randomly allocated to either the intervention or control group by randomized block design. Patients in the 2 groups will be initially assessed. Those in the intervention group will receive a counselling session then instructed on the subsequent follow up dates. Those in the control group will not receive nutritional counselling during the study period but will be instructed to attend for final assessment by the end of the study. Apart from counselling, patients will receive the same care from the clinic medical staff. After the final assessment the control group will be invited to receive the nutritional counselling material to gain its suspected benefits.
