Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Photophobia has never been investigated in MS. METHODS:In this pilot study we used photosensitivity questionnaire assessment (PAQ) to evaluate tolerability to light in 73 MS patients and 62 healthy controls. RESULTS:We identified a lower PAQ score and a higher number of photophobic subjects in MS than in controls. Moreover, clinical disability or previous optic neuritis did not predict the photosensitivity profile. CONCLUSION:Further studies to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying photophobia in MS are needed.
