Multiple sclerosis and its related stressors have a significant emotional impact. Patients with multiple sclerosis are more likely to experience disturbed mood states and pain exacerbations when they experience stressful life events.
The study aimed to determine the relationship between increased perceived stress, mood states, and pain experience in patients with multiple sclerosis.
A convenience sample of 110 patients with multiple sclerosis was assembled from the neuropsychiatric outpatient clinics at El- Hadara Orthopedic and Traumatology Alexandria University Hospital. Four tools were used: a biosocio-demographic data structured questionnaire, a Perceived Stress Scale, a Profile of Mood States, and a Numeric Rating Pain Scale.
This study concluded that the majority of patients studied experienced moderate to severe levels of increased perceived stress. Disturbed mood states and pain perception were found to be significantly associated with patients' perceived stress levels.

从亚历山大港 El-Hadara 骨科和创伤科大学医院的神经精神科门诊收集了 110 名多发性硬化症患者的便利样本。使用了四种工具：生物社会人口统计学数据结构问卷、感知压力量表、情绪状态简表和数字评分疼痛量表。
本研究得出结论，研究中的大多数患者经历了中度至重度的感知压力增加。发现情绪紊乱和疼痛感知与患者的感知压力水平显著相关。
