Abstract
• We reviewed 317 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and found that the incidence of clinically significant pain, excluding headache and paresthesia, was 28.8%. Successful treatment requires recognition of the pathophysiology of the pain syndromes encountered in MS. Antidepressant drugs have been of particular value in the treatment of chronic pain in these patients.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
