About this trial

In the sponsor's words

When the literature was reviewed, there is no study in which the effects of intermittent fasting and Mediterranean diet on quality of life, sleep, circadian rhythm and appetite hormones leptin and ghrelin levels in MS patients were evaluated and the two diet types were comparatively examined in terms of all these parameters.
