      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: The current study is a co-intervention of Diet &amp; Nutritional Supplement, Randomization description: Randomization will be conducted based on https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists. Each block has a capacity for 6 subjects. Then, within each block, subjects will be randomly assigned to treatment or placebo. Random assignment will be done using a random chain that will be extracted from the site. Randomization will be stratified based on the type of progressive MS (three types: PPMS, SPMS, PRMS), Blinding description: Synbiotic supplements and placebo (identical in color, shape, and odor) will be packaged in similar boxes and the researcher and patients will not be informed of the contents of the packs until the end of the study. In addition, the individualized diets and dietary recommendations will be packaged in similar packets. Furthermore, the outcome assessor and data analyzer will be blinded to treatment allocation. HOWEVER, blinding of the investigator is not possible because of obvious differences between the intervention diet (in the intervention group) and dietary recommendations (in the control group).</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: administration of synbiotic supplement (one capsule contains Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Streptococcus thermophilus) in dose of 4.5* 10^11 per day and FOS 100 mg/day plus anti-inflammatory-antioxidant rich diet for 4 months (16 weeks). Intervention 2: Control group: one placebo capsule per day (contains starch) plus dietary recommendations and energy adjustment for 4 months (16 weeks).</i_freetext>
