High-resolution whole-body mapping of warm and cold thermosensitivity in people with multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune neurological disease affecting >2.5M people worldwide. Sensory symptoms (e.g. altered thermal sensations) are common in MS. However, data is lacking on whether and to what extent warm and cold sensitivity is impaired across the body in MS. The aim of this study was to map with high resolution warm and cold sensitivity across the body of people with MS and compare it to a control group.
