AbstractPain is a commonly reported symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the literature surrounding pain management for people with MS appears limited. This article describes how pain was managed for one patient. It suggests that the MS nurse is pivotal in ensuring that patients receive adequate pain control. The MS nurse can coordinate timely assessment, monitor effectiveness and side effects linked with a pain management plan, and provide education and support to patients in order to allow them to take responsibility for their own pain management.
