A study that tests a new drug for efficacy in fighting multiple sclerosis. Before treatment, both groups are assessed for symptom severity. Then, once treatment begins, one group receives the drug, while the other group does not; both groups are again assessed for symptom severity. In the second wave, the groups switch roles. The original treatment group does not receive the drug in this wave, while the original control group does receive the drug. Both groups are again assessed for symptom severity.
