Multiple sclerosis causes chronic pain in more than half of patients.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that multiple sclerosis causes chronic pain in more than half of patients?

Unclear. One literature review states that about half of MS patients suffer from chronic pain, and a small single-clinic study of 38 outpatients found 81.6% reported currently present pain. Neither source establishes that more than half of MS patients have chronic pain at the population level.
