Clinical and psychological features were studied in patients with central pain syndrome (CPS) in multiple sclerosis (MS). There was a variety of the clinical manifestations of CPS. An association of pain with the form, degree, and type of the disease was evaluated. The patients with CPS in MS were found to have psychological features (the high level of catastrophization, somatization, and psychoticism) and to use nonadaptive pain elimination strategies that can make a significant contribution to the development of CPS. The given data allow one to consider CPS in MS in the biopsychosocial model.
