We describe four patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who experienced a relapse with acute onset of painful sensations. Pain sensations disappeared in two of them and markedly reduced in the other ones after repeat application of intrathecal triamcinolone acetonide (TCA) following a prior unsuccessful treatment with intravenous steroids. TCA administration was well tolerated and no serious side effects occurred. Repeated intrathecal TCA injection may provide a substantial benefit in RRMS patients with acute onset of pain due to an inflammatory lesion within the spinal cord.
我们描述了4例复发缓解型多发性硬化症(RRMS)患者,他们经历了伴有急性疼痛发作的病情复发。其中2例患者的疼痛感消失,另外几例在先前静脉注射类固醇治疗失败后,再次鞘内注射曲安奈德(TCA)后疼痛感明显减轻。TCA给药耐受性良好,未出现严重副作用。对于因脊髓内炎性病变导致急性疼痛发作的RRMS患者,重复鞘内注射TCA可能会带来显著益处。
