Abstract

The prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is higher than in the general population and its management can be particularly challenging due to a number of reasons including high recurrence rates, lack of MS-specific treatment guidelines and uncertainties about pain pathophysiology. Aim of this cross-sectional, multicentre survey was to gather information on the current treatment modalities and options of MS-related TN across 23 Italian MS centres. Initial medical management (carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine) of MS-related TN was fairly homogeneous throughout Italian centres. The most commonly available surgical procedure was microvascular decompression, but the frequency and types of surgical procedures available locally differed considerably throughout MS centers, and were unavailable in one quarter of them. This survey reveals some of the issues that could hamper an optimal patient management and underlines the need for a consensus on MS-related TN to support health-care professionals in their approach to this challenging condition and to facilitate the development of local guidelines aimed at ensuring equity in access to care and treatment optimization.

Abstract

Previous studies suggested that magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) histograms are highly correlated with other magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures and can be used as a reliable method for quantifying overall disease burden in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the relative influence of burden and severity of macroscopic MS lesions and degree of brain atrophy on various MTR histogram parameters has not yet been fully elucidated. Aim of the present study was to investigate which MRI measure best predicts the values of MTR histogram parameters in MS patients. Forty-two MS patients underwent brain dual-echo, T1-weighted and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) MRI scans. Hyperintense lesion load (LL) on proton density (PD)-weighted and hypointense LL on T1-weighted images were measured using a local thresholding technique. A measure of brain atrophy was derived from T1-weighted images by computing the volume of brain tissue segmented from a slab of five consecutive slices rostral to the velum interpositum. On MTI scans, MTR histogram analysis was performed for the whole brain and average lesion MTR was also calculated. PD-weighted LL, T1-weighted LL and brain volume were significantly correlated with several MTI-derived measures. When a multivariate analysis was performed, brain volume alone significantly predicted the values of all the MTR histogram-derived measures (P values ranged from 0.003 to 0.0002). The ratio between hypointense T1-weighted and hyperintense PD-weighted LL significantly predicted average lesion MTR (P
