ENT-MS-12 questionnaire: a novel tool to investigate otolaryngology symptoms in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Results from a pilot study
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with otolaryngology-related manifestations including vestibular or auditory symptoms; facial motor or sensory disorders; voice or swallowing impairment; and snoring/sleep apnea. Because these symptoms are nonspecific, their significance in MS is seldom recognized by patients with MS and their physicians; yet, presence of these symptoms may be a harbinger of impending relapse or disease progression.
