About this trial

This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of a combined strategy utilizing disease-modifying therapy and the modified Yishen Daluo Yin formula for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) through a prospective, multicenter, observational comparative study.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers
