This is pain sparked by something that shouldnt cause pain, such as a light touch.
Multiple sclerosis is anautoimmunedemyelinating disease.
This is a disorder in which the immune system inappropriately attacksmyelin, a sheath that protects nerves.
With MS, dysesthesia occurs whenperipheral nervesare demyelinated.
These are the nerves extending from the spinal cord that provide sensations to the rest of the body.
Dysesthesia with MS is distinct in that it causes spontaneous sensations in the absence of any stimuli.

TENS involves the placement of electrodes on the skin to deliver mild electrical impulses that help modify pain signals.
Some people achieve better results than others.
