About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with local inflammation, gliosis and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by demyelinating plaques in the brain and spinal cord. Many different symptoms can be seen in the CNS, depending on the affected areas. One of the most common symptoms in these patients is pain. Approximately 50% of patients complain of pain at some point in their lives, and pain is one of the initial symptoms in 20%. Pain may originate from the musculoskeletal system; It may also develop due to inflammation and upper motor neuron damage and may have a neuropathic character . In conclusion, pain in MS negatively affects the physical and emotional functions and quality of life of patients. In addition to pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological interventions such as electrotherapy and exercise are present among the available treatments for pain in MS patients.
