Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease with tremendous variability and innumerable symptoms. Among the more common symptoms is spasticity. Despite a lack of full knowledge of the physiology causing this phenomenon, successful treatments have been developed. Many of these have had a recent introduction. Pain and paroxysmal phenomena are surprisingly common in MS, but have not had the recognition their frequency deserves. It is not unusual to hear that they are rare in MS, but surprisingly they are all too common. Their management is changing as newer treatments are developed.
多发性硬化症（MS）是一种具有极大变异性和无数症状的疾病。较为常见的症状之一是痉挛。尽管对导致这种现象的生理学机制尚未完全了解，但已经开发出了成功的治疗方法。其中许多方法是最近才引入的。疼痛和发作性现象在MS中出奇地常见，但它们的频发程度并未得到应有的认识。经常听到有人说这些症状在MS中很罕见，但令人惊讶的是，它们其实非常常见。随着新治疗方法的开发，它们的管理方式也在发生变化。
