“…Moreover, in the present study, we found higher age, longer duration of disease, lower educational level, higher EDSS, higher BDI, ASEX, and MMMS scores in patients with SD. Duration of disease and depression have been suggested as important factors associated with SD 26,27 . Koseoglu et al suggested that increasing age was an independent factor for SD, and higher EDSS scores might be related to SD because of concomitant depression 26 .…”

Purpose: To investigate the impact of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) and sexual dysfunction (SD) on multiple sclerosis (MS) patients' quality of life and health perceptions and evaluate the possible relationship with disease parameters. Materials and Methods: A total of 192 patients with MS were included in the study. Along with the King's Health (KHQ) and COOP/WONCA questionnaires, Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX), Beck Depression Scale (BDI), Monitoring My Multiple Sclerosis Scale (MMMS) were used to evaluate the patients’ quality of life and self-perception of health. Results: The median age of the patients was 39.5 years (18–66 years). In contrast, SD was present in 34.4%, 51.6% of the patients presented with NLUTD. Patients with NLUTD had significant differences in terms of age, education level, duration of disease, EDSS, BDI, ASEX, and MMMS scores. The majority of the study group had minor disability (82.8% had an EDSS score less than 3). Patients with SD showed higher disability, depression, and disrupted self-perception of their health status. In addition, quality of life measures correlated with the presence of NLUTD, SD and depression along with higher disability and altered self perception of their health status. Conclusion: NLUTD and SD significantly effect quality of life and well being. Increasing awareness about the impact of NLUTD and SD symptoms in patients with MS will provide a comprehensive approach in clinical practice.

Isolated cranial nerve involvement is rarely seen in multiple sclerosis patients. A 17-year-old female patient presented with complaints of numbness in the right half of her face, difficulty in chewing with the right jaw, having the right corner of her mouth drooping to the right, and blurring in both eyes. She had loss of sensation, left central facial paralysis, and frust monoparesis in the left arm in the right trigeminal nerve dermatome. Following systemic steroid treatment, her left central facial paralysis and chewing difficulties regressed, and loss of sensation improved. As in this case, MS may present with multiple instances of cranial nerve paralysis in addition to the involvement in the extremities. The association of the fifth and seventh nerve palsy in MS is rarely seen in the literature.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes patients' perceptions of self-efficacy and social support to decline. Patients with MS have to change day-to-day activities and encounter various physical and psychosocial problems while adapting to the new lifestyle. Aims: The research aimed to define the quality of life, self-efficacy and social support in patients with MS and to determine the relationship between quality of life, perception of self-efficacy and perceived social support. It is descriptive and correlational research. Data were collected using surveys. Methods: The sample consisted of 116 patients with MS. Patients who applied at the neurology in-patient and outpatient clinics between March 2021 and September 2021 were assessed for inclusion criteria. Written and verbal consent was obtained. The patients read and answered the questionnaires. Their quality of life was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis Scale (FAMS). Self-efficacy perception was measured using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and social support was assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Results: The study found that the other concerns, symptoms, thinking and fatigue were most negatively affected the quality of life subscales. Perception of self-efficacy was found to be moderate, while social support was high. Analyses revealed a positive correlation between MSPSS scores, FAMS scores and GSE scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Health professionals need to provide education and counselling to manage MS-related symptoms, use therapeutic communication techniques to improve self-efficacy, give positive reinforcement and cooperate with families to increase social support.
