Abstract
life is pain. It is important to determine the features and the measurement of pain. Common types of pain are described in multiple sclerosis. One-dimensional and multi-dimensional pain scales, which are also used in different painful diseases, are used in the measurement of these pain. Scoring and recording in one-dimensional pain scales are easy and a better measurement is achieved in acute pain. However, the disadvantage of these scales is that they do not give detailed information about the nature of the pain. Multidimensional pain scales are used in chronic and complex pain. Multidimensional scales have some disadvantage about application by patients because of complexity. The development of specific scales for the better measurement of pain in multiple sclerosis is important for the effective treatment of pain in patients.
