Summary
This trial tests whether an estrogen pill called estriol can improve thinking and memory in women with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). About half of people with MS have cognitive problems, and there are no approved treatments for this. Estriol levels are higher during pregnancy and may help protect the brain. Estriol treatment is anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective in preclinical studies, and has shown promise in reducing MS relapses in small studies. The study will compare estriol plus standard MS treatments to another group over several months.
