The study involved 197 MS patients with different forms of course. We evaluated the clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients with MS due to comorbidity, determined the level of EDSS, fatigue severity (for FSS and SAC), pain on the VAS scale, barchart conducted assessment of teeth and periodontal, syndromic acupuncture diagnosis (SAD) in accordance with the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), electroacupuncture diagnostics (EPD) using the method of Nakatani.Because we studied 197 patients with various forms of MS, one or more concomitant disease was in 98 (49.7%), there was no co-morbidities in 99 (50.3%). Patients with the most severe disorders of teeth and periodontal occurred polykomorbidity: nephrology disorders combined with the arthritic joints of the lower extremities, lumbar pain syndromes and gastroenterological diseases.
