In the present study we studied sensory function in MS patients with pain, MS patients without pain and healthy subjects in order to clarify the role of sensory abnormalities in pain. Fifty MS patients with pain were randomly recruited from a previous epidemiological MS study in Aarhus County, Denmark. Age and gender stratified MS patients without pain (N = 50) and healthy subjects (N = 50) served as controls. Patients with pain underwent a structured pain interview. Sensory function was examined by bedside and quantitative sensory testing. Quality of life was assessed using the health-related quality of life questionnaire, SF-36. Patients with pain had lower pressure pain threshold than pain-free patients (260 kPa vs. 322 (median), Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
