Abstract:   (1059 Views)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the immune system attacks the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and causes damage over time. There are 28 million people who have MS, and the number of people with the disease has been increasing since 2013. In Iran, the rate of MS is highest in Tehran and lowest in Khuzestan and SistanBaluchestan provinces. The prevalence of pain in multiple sclerosis patients ranges between 29% and 86%. Moreover, the Prevalence of depression in MS is 24% to 50%.  Pain in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been linked to different factors like a person's social and economic situation, chronic disease, and mental health conditions. Pain and depression are prevalent in newly diagnosed MS. In particular, pain has been related to higher disability, depression, and fatigue.
