N2  - Introduction. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of symptoms that many women get
about a week or two before their period. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune-mediated
disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS). Aim. This study aimed to see the
impact of premenstrual syndrome on multiple sclerosis symptoms. Methods. Forty women
having MS and complained from PMS, aged 20-35 years, with BMI less than 30 kg/m2 were
selected randomly from Health Insurance Authority in El-Dokki they were assessed during
two periods (normal and premenstrual days). The MS symptoms was assessed through
functional system scale; fatigue severity scale and numerical scale and also premenstrual
symptoms are assessed by PMS tracker. Results. Multiple pairwise comparison tests
revealed that there was significant increase in functional system score in premenstrual
period (p=0.006), and also in fatigue severity scale in pre-menstrual period (p=0.0001).
Numerical rating scale showed that there was significant increase in pain intensity
(p=0.0001) which became more prominent in pre-menstrual period. Conclusion.
Premenstrual syndrome has an effect on worsening the symptoms of multiple sclerosis.
