Afferent thermosensory function in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis following exercise-induced increases in body temperature by Davide Filingeri, Georgia K. Chaseling, Phu Hoang, Michael Barnett, Scott L. Davis, Oliver E. Jay

“…Hence, we quantified afferent thermosensory function in MS following exercise-induced increases in body temperature with a novel quantitative sensory test. Eight relapsing-remitting MS patients (3M/5F; 51.4 ± 9.1 y; EDSS score: 2.8 ± 1.1) and 8 age-matched controls (CTR; 5M/3F; 47.4 ± 9.1 y) rated perceived magnitude of two cold (26; 22°C) and warm (34; 38°C) stimuli applied to the dorsum of the hand, pre and post 30-min cycling in the heat (30°C air; 30% RH). …”
