Цель: проведение анализа психоэмоциональных расстройств у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом, не по-лучающих никакого лечения по поводу этих нарушений. Материал и м...етоды. Для работы отобрана когорта пациентов с достоверным диагнозом рассеянного склероза, согласно критериям Ч. Позера, в составе 163 че-ловек. Использовался четырехмерный симптоматический опросник для оценки дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации (4DSq) и самоопросник для оценки симптомов фибромиалгии с оценкой количественных показателей (WPI, SS, FS). Результаты. Показаны различия средних значений уровня дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом разного пола, возраста, с разным типом течения и длительностью заболевания. Заключение. Нервно-психический статус пациентов зависит от типа течения заболевания, уровень дистресса — от возраста и пола, уровень соматизации — от возраста данной категории больных. В комплексном лечении данной категории больных необходимо использовать помимо патогенетиче-ской терапии симптоматическое лечение, не только оказывающее нейротрофический и вазоактивный эффект, но и влияющее на психоэмоциональный фон пациентов.
