Article Synopsis
- Melatonin is studied for its potential role in managing multiple sclerosis (MS) by acting as an antioxidant and modulating the immune system, but its effects on MS patients are still not well understood.
- The objective of the study was to assess whether melatonin supplementation leads to higher levels of melatonin in the body and if it positively affects patient-reported outcomes.
- The study involved 30 individuals with relapsing forms of MS, showing that a higher dose (5 mg) resulted in increased melatonin levels compared to a lower dose (3 mg), but there were no significant improvements in fatigue or quality of life measures over 12 months.
