From the registry
The aim of this project is to characterize the influence of a ketogenic diet and intermittent therapeutical fasting on the course of the disease, as measured by T2-hyperintense cerebral lesions with magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) in patients with multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The investigators expect in both intervention groups fewer cerebral T2 lesions occurring after 18 months in comparison to the control group and as detectable by MRT. According to current recommendations of the German Society of Nutrition (DGE), the control group receives a vegetarian-focused, anti-inflammatory diet.
Primary outcomes
- Change in cerebral T2 lesions from Baseline at 18 months
