This trial is for adults over 18 who speak English and are at least one year post-diagnosis with spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. It's open to any level of SCI severity and all types of MS. Those under 18, non-English speakers, or without a history of these conditions cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests the 'Mad Dog cooking class series,' which aims to teach individuals with neuromuscular disabilities how to cook anti-inflammatory recipes that may improve health outcomes like depression and pain through better diet adherence.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves cooking classes rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, changes in diet can sometimes cause temporary digestive adjustments or food sensitivities.

Active Control

Group I: Mad Dog cooking class intervention groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This 6-week series consists of a once-weekly cooking class and educational session where a group of individuals with neuromuscular disability can come together to learn about the health benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet, receive instruction on how to cook selected anti-inflammatory recipes, and experiment with various pieces of accessible kitchen equipment that may increase their meal preparation skills. This series will also allow participants to share a meal together once per week.

Group II: Control groupActive Control1 Intervention

The control group will be given the Mad Dog recipes but will not take part in the Mad Dog cooking class series.
