Abstract

Pain can interfere with the daily functioning of persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Furthermore, beliefs about pain and activity engagement are reliably associated with persons' experience of chronic pain. This study aimed to explore the extent to which different aspects of PwMS' activity engagement is related to pain-related illness intrusiveness, and whether certain coping and support systems mediate that relationship.
