Perceived impact of disease modifying therapies on pain in people with multiple sclerosis: A mixed methods study
With a significant majority of participants not experiencing a change in their pain due to DMT use, the choice of DMT should not be influenced by a possible effect on pain. Additionally, as most DMTs affect the immune component of MS, it is unlikely that pain in PwMS is directly modulated by active immune/inflammatory processes.
