Abstract
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder is a rare CNS autoimmune disease, resulting in lesions throughout the optic nerves and spinal cord. NMOSD causes profound disability and severe central neuropathic pain. This study evaluates pain and quality of life, and how the relationship is mediated through depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.
