Evaluation of an Online Course for Multiple Sclerosis Patients
A study is being conducted to evaluate the impact of an online course on diet and self-care for multiple sclerosis patients, with 400 participants randomized into two groups: one receiving the course immediately and the other at a later date. The effectiveness will be measured by changes in quality of life scores after 3 and 6 months.
