Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in Multiple Sclerosis. A Prospective Observational Study of a CAM-using Cohort

This is a prospective, observational study designed to describe disease progression, symptom
change, quality of life, diet and lifestyle habits, and frequency of adverse events among
patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
In addition to describing the patterns of CAM use, this study will also identify and describe
the positive deviants, those individuals with the highest quality of life and least amount of
disease activity. Positive deviants will be compared to controls in order to describe
medication, diet, and lifestyle patterns associated with a lack of MS disease progression and
high quality of life.

progressive MS, primary progressive MS, clinically isolated syndromes (CIS),
radiologically-isolated syndromes (RIS), possible MS, or probable MS.

- Age 18-100
