For patients with a chronic condition such as multiple sclerosis (MS) who self-administer injectable therapies, comfort is important. This article reports on a comparison study of needles used to administer MS therapies and calls for medical device manufacturers to develop needles with decreased penetration forces to minimise trauma, which may increase patient comfort.
对于患有慢性疾病（如多发性硬化症，简称MS）且自行注射治疗药物的患者来说，舒适度很重要。本文报道了一项针对用于MS治疗的注射针头的对比研究，并呼吁医疗设备制造商研发穿透力降低的针头，以尽量减少创伤，这可能会提高患者的舒适度。
