Among the numerous pain syndromes (PS) of various localizations and types, observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), the greatest attention of researchers is attracted by neuropathic PS. Neuropathic PS are often present already in the early stage of MS, significantly reduce the quality of life, hinder the social adaptation of patients, poorly respond to therapy. Central neuropathic PS, which pathogenesis is closely related with plaques in the central nervous system, are most common in patients with MS. Diagnostics of neuropathic PS in MS is based mainly on typical clinical symptoms; MRI and neurophysiological methods data are of secondary importance. This review focuses on modern concepts of three main neuropathic PS in MS: ongoing extremity pain, trigeminal neuralgia and Lhermitte’s sign. Clinical symptoms of neuropathic PS, current ideas about their pathogenetic mechanisms, MRI and neurophysiological techniques data and the existing approaches to conservative therapy and surgical treatment based on randomized trials data are presented.
