Understanding pain types and the lived experiences of individuals with multiple sclerosis and pain: A mixed methods study
Over half of individuals experienced pain, mostly attributed to MS. Findings highlight the need for multidisciplinary pain management, as most experience multiple pain requiring distinct treatments. Increasing awareness of pain burden experienced by PwMS could help improve management and health-related quality of life.
