Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which also affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Manifestations of MS in the ANS include urological, sexual, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and thermoregulatory disorders as well as increased fatigue. These problems are common yet are often underestimated due to the non-specificity of the symptoms and the limited evaluation of the ANS in the usual clinical practice. Most of these symptoms seem to be related to localized lesions in the CNS. However, the mechanisms by which these disorders are caused in MS have not been fully investigated, thus preventing any focused etiological treatment. The most common disorders of the ANS in MS represent a challenge for clinicians due to the variability of the clinical picture and our minimal data on their diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis and initiation of individualized treatment regimens, often in need of multiple approaches, seem to yield the best results in managing ANS dysfunction in MS patients.
