Patterns in how different regions of the brain are structurally organized may help distinguish people with multiple sclerosis (MS) from those without the disease and provide information about MS-related clinical features, a study in China found. Using MRI scans, researchers created individualized maps of large brain networks and found widespread…

Vitamin D supplementation did not consistently reduce relapse rates in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS), although it may reduce the number of MS lesions seen on MRI scans, according to a systematic review of published studies. Several trials found reductions in new or active lesions even when vitamin…

Anti-inflammatory diets may help to ease fatigue and improve overall physical health in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new analysis of data from 10 clinical trials. Findings also indicated that anti-inflammatory diets do not substantially alter body composition, disability status, or mental health in MS patients.
Discussion
Problems with episodic memory, or the ability to remember personal experiences and events, among people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be related to difficulties in interpreting emotions and understanding others — a known nonmotor symptom of the neurological disease. That’s the main takeaway from a small study in France…
Discussion
Daily step patterns — captured via wearable devices such as smartwatches — may offer a more complete picture of disability in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) than measurements taken during occasional clinic visits, a study found. Using more than two years of step count data from…
