Abstract in brief

This review updates previous research on the role of vitamin D in managing multiple sclerosis (MS), highlighting its potential link to reduced disease activity and the safety of supplementation.
The researchers analyzed data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs up to October 2017, comparing vitamin D treatment with placebos or low doses, and assessed outcomes like disability progression, MRI lesions, relapse rates, and adverse events.
The findings aim to determine whether vitamin D is beneficial and safe for people with MS, based on a thorough review of existing scientific evidence and quality assessments of the included studies.
